Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon is full of grey characters, Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen being one of them. Played by Emma D’Arcy, Rhaenyra does have a few redeeming qualities to her, one of them being her love for her children, and the way she raised them. That’s why fans were really sad when Lucerys (Elliot Grihault) was killed in the Season 1 finale. However, D’Arcy might have met their on-screen son even before House of the Dragon.
Emma D’Arcy first saw Elliot Grihault on stage
An amazing find by the Twitter account @velaryonfruits, they reported that Emma D’Arcy and their partner went to watch a Harry Potter play in London back in 2019, when the news of their casting as Princess Rhaenyra was still fresh in the air. Elliot was playing a significant role in that theatre production at the time.
