HouseOfTheDragon showrunner Miguel Sapochnik shares his opinion on the complicated dynamic between Alicent Hightower and Rhaenyra Targaryen: 'Did they ever have a thing? Don't know. But there's something there, right?'
House of the Dragon executive producer and Game of Thrones veteran Miguel Sapochnik has explained the dynamics between Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen and Alicent Hightower . House of the Dragon depicts a succession crisis within the small screen's most notorious dragon-owning family, the Targaryens. Set 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones, House of the Dragon features many time jumps, which give room for long-term development of alliances and rivalries.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY The first five episodes of House of the Dragon feature a young Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen experiencing the challenges of adolescence and the royal customs that come with being heir to the Iron Throne. Rhaenyra's contemporary, Alicent, is the daughter of her father's top political advisor and Hand of the King Otto Hightower .
If you look at the way that Alicent and Rhaenyra’s relationship develops in the first five episodes or first four or five years of their time that we spend with them, they are good friends with this potential romantic entanglement from earlier on that has always been a big thing, for me, that I thought was an essential component of why they are such close friends. It seems like it's a kind of unrequited love. It's not something that Alicent chose to encourage.
What Happened Between Alicent and Rhaenyra? Many characters in Westeros oblige the will of their family and repress their feelings in the process. Alicent's love for her Rhaenyra—platonic or not—was de-prioritized to serve the realm. The friendship meets an inflection point when Rhaenyra lies to Queen Alicent about a night she spent among the King's Landing townsfolk which ended with Rhaenyra taking Ser Criston Cole to her bed.
It's evident from an early stage that Rhaenyra and Alicent have different perceptions of duty which has affected their complex dynamic. As a young princess, Rhaenyra resisted the matchmaking her father pressed upon her until finally acquiescing at the end of episode 5 "We Light the Way"—but establishes her own terms of endearment with her husband Laenor Velaryon .
