In House Of The Dragon, Alcock plays the young Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen, the firstborn child of King Viserys Targaryen (Paddy Considine). A skilled dragonrider of pure Valyrian blood, Rhaenyra has an intensely close relationship with Alicent Hightower (Emily Carey/Olivia Cooke), the daughter of Otto Hightower (Rhys Ifans), the Hand of the King.

In a recent interview, Alcock explained how the series deals with the defining relationship between the young girls.

“House Of The Dragon really creates a nuanced conversation of misogyny,” she told IndieWire. “We don’t only explore it through a level of women being shut down and the patriarchy, but also go in-depth about the internalised misogyny that women are constantly faced with, and the competitiveness. Alicent and Rhaenyra’s relationship is at the forefront of that conversation.”
