Game of Thrones’ Natalie Dormer Secretly Welcomed her First Child in January

Even though the world is currently fighting the COVID pandemic, good news keeps rushing in for Game of Thrones fans. The fantasy epic completed 10 years of its run in April this year, and the prequel House of The Dragon has begun production. And this year we had another Game of Thrones baby, much to everyone’s surprise. Actress Natalie Dormer has given birth to a baby daughter, her first child with partner David Oakes.

Her daughter was born in January and has been kept a secret, shared only with family and close friends. But the news will surely delight her fans. Natalie, 39, does not use social media. She broke the news to her friend Esther Rantzen on her That’s After Life podcast, produced by Captive Minds, released on Wednesday.

“It’s the perfect thing to do during a pandemic – get pregnant, have a baby,” joked Natalie. “I feel like I’m probably being a bit of a cliché, she’ll probably be sitting in a bar in 30 years’ time one day going, “Yeah, I’m a COVID baby”. I think there’s going to be lots of COVID babies because what else can people do, maybe like blitz babies?”

She added, “She’s just three months and she’s an absolute joy, I’m never going to complain about shooting hours ever again because sleep deprivation is something else.”

“People say, “Your whole perspective on life will change, and your whole set of value system” and you sort of roll your eyes and go “yeah, yeah” – and then you have one and you go, “Oh. Wow!”

After waiting for nearly a year, Game of Thrones fans finally have some good news. HBO has made it official- House of The Dragon is ready to take flight. The highly awaited Game of Thrones prequel began production last week. Also, the rumours have been confirmed, the news about the series being filmed in Cornwall is actually true! The show’s stars Matt Smith and Emma D’Arcy were spotted filming on Holywell Beach in Cornwall.

The prequel caused quite a buzz in the last few days when the official Twitter handle of Game of Thrones announced the beginning of production. It didn’t take much time for the locals at Cornwall to leak photos and videos from the set. The Daily Mail released a leaked video of the crew and the stars Matt and Emma filming in full costume. Check it out here!

Smith and D’Arcy are in full regal Targaryen costuming for shooting. They’re wearing silver-blond wigs with styling that is reminiscent of Game of Thrones’ Daenerys and Viserys. The actors shared a scene, speaking together on the beach. Then it appeared that D’Arcy strolled towards the water when the characters finished talking.

The crew was busy setting up the set; a broken hull and a leftover wreck. It looks likely that this site is serving as Driftmark and the home of the Velaryons.
