Emma D’Arcy tells Pop Base that Rhaenyra Targaryen’s drive for the Iron Throne in ‘HOUSE OF THE DRAGON’ is, in part, shaped by the loss of her son, Jacaerys Velaryon:

“Rhaenyra’s journey to the throne comes so in the shadow of her son’s death that, if anything, I feel that she’s sort of acting on his behalf. This is a political family whose personal relationships are so fundamentally meshed with political ambition. If Rhaenyra’s name enters the history books, her son sort of gains a kind of immortality.”
