The incident increased the actress's anxiety, as she was already nervous about playing the iconic character of Rhaenyra in the 'Thrones' universe. "It just confirmed everything that I've kind of known to be true, [which] is that I'm not very good at my job. You know what I mean! I was like, 'I can't do this. This is terrible. This is a big mistake," said Alcock as quoted by Variety.
Despite the initial rough days, the actress Milly Alcock garnered praise from the viewers for her role as a young Rhaenyra Targaryen in 'House of the Dragon'. Alcock costarred alongside Emma D'Arcy, Matt Smith and Rhys Ifans in Season 1 of 'House of the Dragon,' but only made a brief appearance in Season 2.
