The Game of thrones wedding last week marked a turn for the series to jump ahead to House of the dragon. We are going to meet older Princess Rhaenyra, with Emma D'Arcy taking over from Milly Alcock, and Prince Laenor, now played by John Macmillan. The handsome and politically arranged couple look to be fully committed to their vows and loyalty to their family, while Alicent tries to get favors for the Hightower agenda.
In this preview, we catch up with Rhaenyra after she gives birth to her son because Queen Alicent wants to see the child.
The story. While we only got to see younger Alicent begin to turn heel at the pre-wedding feast/chaotic brawl, it is clear that there has been quite a passive aggressive war between the princess and the queen, something that will no doubt escalate now that there is. The strong-headed girl who didn't want to have children to a mother who understood the battlefield of birth is depicted by D'Arcy's steely strength. When the king dies, we can't wait to see the full extent of the show.
Sunday can't come soon enough as things are heating up in the show.
On Sunday, House of the Dragon is on the air.
