Milly Alcock, the new star of House Of The Dragon, HBO’s hotly anticipated Game Of Thrones prequel, caught up with Stylist’s Christobel Hastings to talk female friendship and playing women who know what they want.
Set some 200 years before Daenerys Targaryen took to the skies to incinerate the capital city of King’s Landing, the new series finds the Targaryen dynasty on the brink of a bloody civil war known as The Dance of the Dragons. As the young Rhaenyra Targaryen, the princess whose succession kicks off the battle for the Iron Throne , the 22-year-old Australian actor is quite literally the face of the new fantasy series.
“Women aren’t just used as they’re not there just to serve the storyline of misogyny – they also have their own” “Their relationship, I believe, explores themes of internalised misogyny, that these two women are forced to compete,” she says. “They’re forced to compete at the hands and approval of men, and ultimately the demise of their relationship is brought down by choices that are made by men about the trajectory of their lives.” The dynamic between Rhaenyra and Alicent in their younger years, Alcock says, reminds her of Stephen King’s 1986 coming-of-age drama.
“I feel very protective of her like Rhaneyra does,” she says. “We Facetimed before we started shooting and just kind of gawked over this experience, and ultimately, she is like an Alicent to me in the sense that nobody else would be able to understand the experience of shooting this show and being a young woman on set because, when we were shooting on set, it was us and all of the small council men that were all older, so it was really lovely to have a younger woman to fall back on.
