Rhaenyra Targaryen is one of the brightest and most memorable characters in the TV series House of the Dragon, whose image captures grandeur, charisma, and inner strength. What does the actress who played the young heiress to the throne look like in real life?
Biography of Milly Alcock
Milly was born on April 11, 2000, in Sydney, Australia. In 12th grade, she decided to leave Newtown High School for the Arts after landing the role of Meg in the TV series Piano.

In 2018, Alcock was honored with the Rising Star Award from the Australian Casting Guild for her role in the movie Meg. But her acting debut took place much earlier: at the age of six, she played the role of Little Red Riding Hood in a school play, and from the age of 13 she appeared in commercials and miniseries filmed in Australia.
Her first films included A Place Called Home (2013) and Wonderland (2014).
When she auditioned for a role in a new HBO series, she had no idea what kind of project it was. Milly was not a fan of the fantasy genre and had never watched Game of Thrones.
In the script she received for the audition, all the names of the characters were hidden, and her friend helped her guess the real name of the project. Although Game of Thrones has captured the hearts of millions of people around the world, Alcock herself was not one of its fans.

Before getting the role in House of the Dragon, she worked as a dishwasher in a restaurant and lived in her mother's attic.
The unexpected offer to star in the new hit HBO series came as a real surprise to her.
According to Alcock, she is different from "the ideal Hollywood stars who look 25 at 17 or 18." On the contrary, she is often perceived to be younger than she actually is, and this has its drawbacks.

Perhaps she looks younger because of her short height - about 1.57 meters.
Journalists do not yet have any information about the star's personal life - she does not comment on this topic either in conversations or on social media. There is also little information about Milly's family in the media: it is only known that her parents are divorced and her mother works in e-commerce.
