How old is marjorie in game of thrones

It's always been brave, this show. I think everyone will have their breath taken away by all the characters, especially Tommen's decision because that's very dramatic.

I wasn't there the day Dean-Charles [Chapman] shot that scene but I heard it was very moving for the crew members who were watching it. Other than my storyline, I don't know what happens in Episode 10 on purpose so I can watch it like a fan. I'm really excited. Is that a thing among the cast? Not reading plots that don't involve you?

I've been doing it for about half the time I was shooting. Some other lead members do it now as well because it also makes it much easier in interviews. You can't get caught because you don't know. I'm picturing the entire cast getting together at a press junket and you blocking your ears saying, "I don't want to know anything! I had no idea he was coming back. I was so happy to see him, he's such a great guy and we've had many a good chat at a junket or sitting in an airport together.

When I saw him in the makeup trailer I was completely bowled over that he returned because I hadn't read the script!

And then I walked out of the trailer going, "Aw damn! It's hilarious and weird because I was interviewed a few months previously and I was asked if I could bring back any character, who would it be.

I said the Hound and at the time I didn't know. It was a comment made completely innocently; I wasn't trying to do a spoiler or a tease or be clever, I genuinely wanted Rory back! And lo and behold, there he was in the makeup trailer one day. Well there's that pervading theory online that if you don't see someone actually die onscreen, you can never be too sure that they're actually dead. That's a very good point, but I'm pretty sure no one is escaping from that Sept.

You filmed those final scenes so long ago. Were you ever worried about spilling the secret? How do you train yourself to stay quiet? I don't really want to know, as a fan. I love watching the show, I have the script in front of me and I don't read it [in full] because I want the story to unfold in front of me, to have my breath taken away from me, like Sunday's episode when the Knights of the Vale rode over the hill.

I feel the best way to tell the story is to wait for the moment as it's placed by the creators. What will you miss most about being on the show? Being a part of that family on a day-to-day basis. It's five years of my life. I'll always be a part of the family in my heart but just the day-to-day interaction, the jokes, the laughing….

Who do you want on the Iron Throne? It changes every time I watch the show! I'm loving the Stark girls at the moment. Will you keep watching now that your time on the show has come to an end? I was a fan before and during the show and I watched Season 1 as just a fan girl, so I'll go back to watching the show just like a fan girl. You're known for playing roles that come with a lot of baggage—Anne Boleyn on The Tudors , Irene Adler on Elementary —did you feel that kind of pressure with the book fan base when you came on as Margaery?

No because Margaery is not a POV character in the books so she's not fleshed out in the same way a lot of the other characters are. I didn't feel quite the same pressure, I don't think. But of course I was nervous because I'm respectful of how important the book is to a lot of people. But over the years I've had a lot of interaction with fans and felt like they weren't dissatisfied with the choices I made. How did you feel going into your first lead role in The Forest?

It made me really grateful because I'd been the lead on the stage and I'd been the lead on TV, so to be the lead in a feature felt like a natural evolution for me. I did my Malcolm Gladwell "10, Hours. I love having an intimate relationship with the crew, when you can be there day in, day out and you actually feel like you're one of the team leaders. I kind of get a kick out of that, especially when it's something like The Forest and it feels like guerilla-style shooting because you're on a budget with an independent and you've only got so many hours.

Was that the most physically taxing role you've played so far? That, next to The Hunger Games , because we did a lot of running, like that sewer sequence in Mockingjay 2 , when we're soaking wet in our combat gear carrying semi-automatic rifles. That was quite physically demanding. Tell me about being a part of The Hunger Games , which is another huge cultural juggernaut. What was that like? How was it different from Game of Thrones?

It was similar insofar as it was an incredible ensemble cast. It was an incredible family. Margaery is surprised by this, but Olenna points out that the Lannisters need their alliance with the Tyrells far more than they do. Margaery learns, to her disappointment, that Olenna intends to return to Highgarden before Tommen's coronation.

Her grandmother tells her that she should be able to handle things herself from this point. Before she leaves, Olenna tells her about how she seduced Luthor Tyrell to get out of her engagement to a Targaryen, and advises Margaery to make her move on Tommen while Cersei is still distracted over Joffrey's murder.

Margaery is confused by Olenna's certainty that Tyrion is innocent, until Olenna makes it clear that she would never have allowed Margaery to marry "that beast", heavily implying that it was she who poisoned Joffrey. Later that night, Margaery steals into Tommen's bedchamber, apparently easily sneaking past the Kingsguard.

She discusses rumors of their upcoming wedding with him and interacts in a friendly manner with his cat, Ser Pounce. Margaery and Tommen bond over their relief that they won't have to live in fear of Joffrey anymore. Margaery asks if she can visit him again in secret; Tommen agrees.

Realizing that she must be maternal in her initial manipulation of him, Margaery gives him a kiss on the forehead as she leaves. Still dressed in mourning clothes, Margaery watches Tommen's coronation from the side gallery of the great hall. Cersei approaches her and engages her in conversation.

To Margaery's surprise, Cersei says that the things Joffrey did shocked her, then asks rhetorically if Margaery thinks many things shock her. Cersei asks if Margaery still wants to be the queen, to which the lady replies that she hasn't thought about it. Cersei ignores the obvious lie and says that Tommen will need someone to guide him; apparently, she doesn't have the will to fight about Margaery being that someone anymore.

Cersei and Tywin later set the date of Margaery and Tommen's wedding to right after the mourning period is over, a fortnight from the coronation. Along with her brother and father who is one of the three judges , Margaery is present at the trial of Tyrion Lannister. Although she wasn't close to Tyrion, she looks visibly displeased at the proceedings, well aware that Tyrion is innocent and the trial is a farce.

Nonetheless, Margaery remains silent throughout the trial. Guiltily, knowing that her grandmother is the real conspirator, Margaery watches as the trial goes awry and Tyrion demands a trial by combat. Margaery, along with lords and ladies from all over the Seven Kingdoms, stands on the Great Sept of Baelor as Cersei Lannister arrives to mourn the loss of her father. During the reception at the Red Keep afterwards, Cersei notices her exchanging a few close words with Tommen and holding his hand briefly.

Later on, Margaery interrupts Loras as he is in bed with Olyvar. Irritated at her brother's lack of discretion, she dismisses Olyvar.

Loras is puzzled by Margaery's relaxed attitude, as Tywin's death means Cersei won't be forced to marry Loras and be sent off with him to Highgarden, which means Margaery will have to contend with her mother-in-law at the capital. Margaery implies that may not be the case. Tommen and Margaery are finally wed, much to the dismay of Cersei.

That night, they consummate their marriage. They are elated and discuss their future together. Tommen tells Margaery how he thinks that his mother is unhappy in King's Landing. Seeing herself losing, Cersei walks away. Margaery and her entourage laugh following her exit. Later, however, Margaery becomes angry when her brother is arrested by the Faith Militant. She confronts Tommen, who eventually claims that his mother was not responsible and there was no way to free Loras without bloodshed, but Margaery, who has much more court and political experience than Tommen, is perfectly aware that Cersei played a role in her brother's arrest in order to divide her and Tommen.

She subsequently decides to write to Olenna for help. Olenna arrives shortly after and speaks with Margaery, sharing her belief that even though the Faith Militant arrested Loras, Cersei was the true mastermind.

Later, at Loras's Holy Inquest, Margaery is called to testify and she backs her brother's denial towards the charges against him. However, Olyvar is called in to give testimony, though it is clear he has been instructed by Cersei. He confirms the accusations against Loras, who is to be put on trial. Margaery, to her horror, is also arrested by the High Sparrow for giving false testimony, and dragged from the room while calling Tommen for help.

Margaery is placed in a cell beneath the Sept of Baelor. Cersei comes to visit her, bringing her dinner and offering her condolences, but by now, Margaery knows of Cersei's part in the plan to have her and Loras arrested, accuses her of lying and ultimately orders her to leave, throwing the bowl of stew at her and calling her a "hateful bitch. Margaery inquires about Loras's condition, but Unella says she must confess her sins first and moves to strike her. At that precise moment the High Sparrow steps in and stops Unella, ordering his acolyte to attend the Faith's "other guests.

Instead, the High Septon mentions that Tommen misses his wife terribly, and that the love between husband and wife is sacrosanct, and that sins, however, have a way of leading decent people away from all things sacred and into wickedness.

Margaery claims she has committed no sins. The High Sparrow gently reprimands the Tyrell Queen, asking if she considers herself to be "wholly without sin. Some time later, Margaery is again brought to speak with the High Sparrow. He relates his story about how he began to reject the material world, but Margaery calls him out for quoting from the Book of the Stranger.

She admits she isn't that familiar with The Seven-Pointed Star , but Septa Unella has been reading passages from it at her. The High Sparrow agrees that Unella has a habit of reading at people and finishes his story, allowing Margaery to see Loras.

Seeing that her brother has nearly given up hope, Margaery encourages him to keep fighting. Eventually, the High Sparrow allows Tommen to visit Margaery, who now appears clean and kempt, and unnervingly cheerful considering her recent ordeal. Margaery professes to Tommen her newly found devotion to the Faith. She admits that although she had always put on a kind and caring persona in the past, she had done so with ulterior motives.

Upon being asked by Tommen of Loras, she states that he must atone for his sins. This convinces Tommen to unite the crown and the faith, intent on bringing a new era for the Seven and for Westeros. Just before her own walk of atonement on the steps of the Great Sept of Baelor, her father , along with his army, and Jaime Lannister arrive in order to prevent her humiliation.

Jaime threatens to incapacitate the Faith Militant by force, but before any hostility can occur, the High Sparrow announces King Tommen as a newly converted follower of the Faith and calls off Margaery's atonement, claiming that she has done her part by bringing Tommen onto their side. The Queen Consort then joins her husband in a unification of the Baratheon monarchy and the Faith of the Seven.

They quote verses about the Mother together before discussing the poor. The High Sparrow then asks Margaery why she has not been sharing the marriage bed with Tommen, prompting Margaery to explain that the desires that once drove her no longer do. The High Sparrow responds that Margaery has a duty to her king, country, and the gods: she must produce an heir. The High Sparrow then reveals that he "fears" for her grandmother , stating that while she is a strong and powerful woman, she is also an unrepentant sinner.

He tells Margaery that she must bring her grandmother around to their way of thinking or else there will be consequences for "her body and soul. Olenna openly insults Septa Unella, whom Margaery defends, saying she has been a true friend and teacher. Olenna reacts with disgust, pulling Margaery into another room in an attempt to have some privacy, but Septa Unella follows them.

Olenna begins verbally attacking Septa Unella, stating that she needs a good bashing. Once more, Margaery comes to the Septa's defense. Olenna questions what the Sparrows have done to her, and Margaery replies that Olenna marched against the gods.

Olenna argues that they marched for Margaery and Loras's sake. Margaery replies that the gods could have punished Olenna and her allies for their blasphemy, but they instead showed mercy. Olenna reminds Margaery that Loras is still imprisoned and that that is hardly mercy.

Margaery assures her that Loras may return to Highgarden following his atonement, though he will have to renounce his titles and live the rest of his life in penitence. Olenna is rightfully horrified by this due to the fact that Loras is the heir to Highgarden and believing that Margaery's loyalties towards her family and house have weakened.

Before she can say more, Margaery kneels in front of her and urges her to return to Highgarden. Olenna says that she will never leave Margaery. Margaery repeats her plea, this time with a marked sense of urgency, secretly slipping a piece of paper into her grandmother's hand. Understanding the silent message, Olenna relents. She tells Margaery that she will see her soon, and the two share a hug. During the hug, Margaery's mask slips for a split second because of the emotion.

After Olenna leaves, Margaery cheerfully asks Septa Unella if she would like to pray. Outside the room, Olenna unfolds the note to find a rose—House Tyrell's sigil—drawn on it.

This reassures her that Margaery's true loyalty remains with her family. At Cersei and Loras's trial, Margaery stands with her father in the Great Sept of Baelor, and watches from the sidelines as Loras renounces his allegiance to House Tyrell, confesses to his crimes and agrees to join the Sparrows.

Presumably, Margaery becomes heir to Highgarden for the final moments of her life after her brother's disinheritance. She comforts her father and restrains him from intervening when the Faith Militant begin carving the seven-pointed star into Loras's forehead. When Margaery realises Cersei is not present, the High Sparrow sends Lancel to bring her to the sept by force. When Lancel himself does not return after a prolonged period of time, Margaery suggests to the High Sparrow that Cersei's absence and that of her son indicates that she is plotting to harm them.

Margaery then attempts to evacuate the Sept, taking the frightened Loras with her. Clearly underestimating Cersei, the High Sparrow dismisses this notion and has his Sparrows keep the Tyrell siblings from leaving the sept, along with everyone else present. Powerless to do anything or reach her father in their final moments, Margaery gives the High Sparrow a knowing look, angered at his lack of understanding and his ignorance of Cersei's unmatched cruelty.

He then realises their doom is nigh, and Margaery clutches to her brother as the sept erupts in an explosion of wildfire , killing everyone inside, including Margaery, Loras, and their father. Although Cersei is initially delighted in wiping out her enemies in the Faith and a rival in Margaery , as a result of Margaery's death, Tommen commits suicide after he sees the burning sept from his chambers, leading to Cersei seizing the Iron Throne.

Without Margaery to act as a link in the alliance between House Tyrell and House Lannister, and vengeful of her progeny's death at the hands of Cersei, Olenna aligns Highgarden's forces with Daenerys Targaryen following a meeting with the Sand Snakes of Dorne. Olenna remarks to Daenerys that Margaery was the most admired Queen within living memory, among both the nobility and the small folk, but now all that remains of her is ashes.

She concludes that for Daenerys to claim the Iron Throne, she must be feared as well as loved, a trait Margaery lacked. After the death of her grandmother at the Sack of Highgarden , the Lannister- Tarly forces are attacked by Daenerys Targaryen , in which the surviving lords are asked to swear fealty to Daenerys. Despite the threat of death, Randyll Tarly announces that he already has a Queen in Cersei. When Jaime Lannister returns home to King's Landing after the sacking of Highgarden and the Battle of the Goldroad , he informs Cersei of Olenna's involvement in the murder of Joffrey, and explains her motivations to kill him in order to protect Margaery from the gruesome nature of Joffrey.

In addition, Margaery would have been better able to control the more calm-natured and naive Tommen. He remarks that Olenna, her son and grandchildren are dead and that House Tyrell is officially extinct.

Margaery's beauty was equaled by her cleverness, which she had in abundance. Margaery's strength was in her ability to win the minds and loyalties of her subjects, which had proven to be a threat to those who rival her family, such as the Lannisters. She demonstrated her formidable skill in her charity work to win over the commoners of King's Landing, as well as her manipulation of Joffrey by making him think she was excited by his dark impulses. This proved to be a threat to Cersei, who only relied on the fear of her family name and her position as a source of power.

Margaery possessed the tact, politeness and - in many respects - political acumen that Cersei lacked.

While Cersei was blunt and often rude, Margaery was capable of exuding the courtly behavior and courtesies expected of a queen - while still privately engaging in palace intrigues to increase her family's power.

Cersei scorned her status as a woman in a realm dominated by men, though she was willing to use sex as a weapon to seduce those she needs such as her cousin Lancel. In contrast, Margaery worked within the social standards of "proper" femininity in Westeros, but adeptly turned them to her favor, to orchestrate political machinations from behind the scenes. Like most players in the "game of thrones", Margaery's ultimate goal was to gain power - either by sitting on the Iron Throne or being in close proximity to it - but unlike many others, her machinations were not motivated by devious powerlust or a claim to the succession as a Tyrell, the latter was irrelevant , but simply a desire to secure her family in a place of influence where they could direct political affairs in their favor.

Margaery had loving relationships with all of her family members: she loved her brother Loras and was entirely tolerant of his homosexuality - to the point that when her father contracted a marriage-alliance between herself and Loras's own lover Renly, she acknowledged that it was a paper marriage, and was quite frank that she had no issues with her new husband continuing his sexual relationship with her brother.

So this whole plot line would be moot given Margaery's age and how young Tommen is. Luckily, the main children on Game of Thrones were aged up for the TV series at least a couple of years.

This worked out swimmingly for Tommen, who was granted the largest leap in age out of all the kiddos. When the books started, he was a wee 6 years old.

But on the show, his starting age was Now, he's around 13 or The actor who plays him, Dean-Charles Chapman is In the books, Margaery's starting age is Her age on the show, currently, is probably around 21 or 22 — though it's unclear. This makes their characters' age differences about 8 years — give or take a year or two.
