The wait is finally over for\u00a0House of the Dragon.<\/a><\/p>\n

The much-anticipated Game of Thrones prequel takes place hundreds of years before the timeline of the original series, telling\u00a0the story of House Targaryen<\/a> and the\u00a0ruthless civil conflict that ensues between Princess\u00a0Rhaenyra Targaryen<\/a> and Prince Aegon II Targaryen, both of whom claim they are rightful heirs to the Iron Throne<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If the show\u2019s trailer and\u00a0first episode<\/a> are anything to go by, the series will also depict the friendship between Rhaenyra and her close friend Alicent Hightower, and how it swiftly devolves over time.<\/p>\n

House of the Dragon<\/a> has cast two actors in the pivotal role of Rhaenyra, with the older version of the Princess portrayed by Emma D\u2019Arcy<\/a>, and the younger character played by Milly Alcock.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s everything you need to know about House of the Dragon<\/a>\u2018s Alcock.<\/p>\n

\u201cI auditioned for years and years and didn\u2019t get anything, but I think the acting industry is competitive because it can afford to be,\u201d she told\u00a0Wonderland\u00a0about her career.<\/p>\n

\u201cArt is subjective and most of the time it\u2019s out of your control. So every time I go in for an audition, I think: \u2018I either get this and things will change or I don\u2019t and things stay the same. There\u2019s no point worrying about it.’\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI tried not to let myself become consumed with all the frills and fluff of what could happen after the show because whatever I did was going to be on screens forever, so I wanted to put down the best performance I could,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
