Milly Alcock

Milly Alcock has told Newsweek about filming an intimate scene with co-star Matt Smith for the fourth episode of "House of the Dragon."

At first, their trip through King's Landing is a relatively innocent one, with Rhaenyra and Daemon watching a puppet show that makes her the punchline. The character becomes romantically entangled with her uncle, Prince Daemon Targaryen ( [Matt Smith](https://www.newsweek.com/house-dragon-sex-scene-leaves-fans-talking-1735728)), in Episode 4 when he shows her around the Westeros capital of King's Landing in disguise. We didn't just want to be like 'and now we perform an intimate scene.' For example, Aegon the Conqueror wed his sisters Visenya and Rhaenys, from whom Martin's books the Targaryen family would famously marry their relatives.

We had an intimacy coordinator, and we worked with her through the rehearsal process and blocked it out months before.” Daemon kind of has the upper hand, and Rhaenyra has the upper hand with Cole, and that turns her on a bit. [Matt Smith and I] were just kind of mates,” she told Eight seasons of Game of Thrones and they’re still finding ways to shock us.

'This is kind of weird and silly,' the actor says of the brothel scene filled with nude extras.

It’s very similar to my puzzlement over Daemon’s party following the death of the queen and her infant son in the series premiere. It’s interesting also that he stopped before going further with his niece, leaving her alone in the brothel in a fit of pique. I think that she wants to be seen, and ultimately Daemon and Criston Cole are the only two people who really see her. Suffice to say, Targaryens are even more incestuous than the Lannisters, and in this case, two of the show’s best characters—Daemon and Rhaenyra—have taken up the banner, rather than two (initially) deplorable characters like Cersei and Jaime. Whatever editing and cinematography wizardry goes into a scene like this, it must be very strange to film around a bunch of naked extras. So, it was quite comfortable,” Alcock told the post.

The now-infamous (and viral) scene between Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen (Milly Alcock) and her uncle Daemon Targaryen (Matt Smith) at a brothel was long in the ...

Set 200 years before the events of “Game of Thrones,” the series tells the story of House Targaryen; Paddy Considine, Olivia Cooke, Emma D’Arcy, and Steve Toussaint also star. “So, that was our first time walking through the brothel, and he’s guiding her through the room with all of these other bodies. I think that she understands that there’s a feeling here [with Daemon], but she’s not quite sure where it lands, and how to behave with it and navigate it.” And while Rhaenyra and Daemon are [literally niece and uncle](https://www.indiewire.com/2022/09/house-of-the-dragon-grossest-moments-1234757508/) in the series, their steamy kiss has led to fans shipping the inevitable couple who seek to keep the Targaryen bloodline pure. “[She] made sure that we hadn’t seen any of the brothel stuff until we were shooting,” Alcock revealed. [Milly Alcock](https://www.indiewire.com/t/milly-alcock/)) and her uncle Daemon Targaryen ( [Matt Smith](https://www.indiewire.com/t/matt-smith/)) at a brothel was long in the making with an intimacy coordinator on set for the “Game of Thrones” prequel series.
