Emma D’Arcy was not only not familiar with Game of Thrones when they signed on for the project, but they also had no idea that they were reading for one of the most-anticipated projects called House of the Dragon.
Though it helped that they had long been a fan of fantasy and science fiction. Also, looking back they believe that had they already had a love for Game of Thrones they would not have been able to deal with the pressure of the audition process the way did.
Anyway, Emma here plays princess Rhaenerys Targaryen, the firstborn child of King Viserys and Queen Aemma Arryn. Let us tell you more about their new role and answer the burning queries about their gender and partner in the rest of the writing.
Emma D’Arcy As Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen In House Of The Dragon
House Of The Dragon, the Game of Thrones prequel takes place about 200 years before the before of the events of the original series and follows the fortunes of House Targaryen. And Emma’s princess Rhaenyra Targaryen fits in this story as the king’s first-born child. She is of pure Valyrian blood and aspires to be a dragon rider. But of course, not being born as a man her life goals are restricted.
Emma later continues as the grown-up princess after Milly Alcock plays the young Rhaenyra.
The series opens with Rhaenyra’s father, Viserys, the king, (actor Paddy Considine), ascending to the throne over his older female cousin Rhaenys (Eve Best), who has a stronger claim. But, years later, when the king passes over his brother and names his teenage daughter (Rhaenyra) as his heir there is tension around. And soon enough the future queen also learns that her former closest allies have turned into her biggest rivals and so a new promising story about the House Of The Dragon begins.

Every time they taped Emma shared that their partner would do their hair extensions for an hour and a half.
