[Warning: Spoilers ahead for episode 4 of “House of the Dragon.”]In Sunday night’s fourth episode of the “Game of Thrones” spinoff “House of the Dragon,” teen Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen (Milly Alcock) and her uncle Daemon Targaryen (Matt Smith) have an incestuous steamy make-out in the middle of a crowded brothel.Although the scene is bound to raise eyebrows among viewers, Aussie actress Alcock, 22, told The Post that it wasn’t awkward to film. “No, strangely enough. [Matt Smith and I] were just kind of mates.
So, it was quite comfortable,” Alcock said about filming the scene with Smith, 39. “We had an intimacy coordinator, and we worked with her through the rehearsal process and blocked it out months before.”“House of the Dragon” is set around 200 years before the events of “Game of Thrones,” and it follows Daenerys Targaryen’s ancestors as they scheme over who will succeed the current King (Paddy Considine) on the throne.King Viserys named his daughter, Rhaenyra, as his heir, snubbing his dastardly younger brother, Daemon.
But her position is uncertain, since Viserys recently had a son, who many people think should be the rightful heir instead.Daemon was friendly with his niece, but now, it’s a relationship that’s a little too close.
