Alexander Gabriel Claremont-Diaz

Alexander Gabriel Claremont-Diaz is the First Son of the United States, the son of President Ellen Claremont, and the protagonist whose dual life—public golden boy and private overachiever—drives the novel's central conflict. Known to the press as FSOTUS, he is introduced as a figure of effortless charm, but his private world reveals a young man working furiously to earn his place in history. His full name, with its hyphenated double surname, marks him as the product of two political dynasties: the Claremonts of Texas and the Diaz family, children of immigrants. He is the brother of June Catalina June Claremont-Diaz and a close friend of Nora Holleran, together forming the White House Trio. His arc from bitter rival to devoted partner of Prince Henry George Edward James Fox-Mountchristen-Windsor is the emotional and political engine of the book, culminating in a public coming-out that reshapes his family, his country, and his own sense of self.
