When you look at a story, you read about a character, you picture in your mind who would be perfect for that role. Game of Thrones was famous for its on-point casting. Actress Emilia Clarke was perfect as the Mother of Dragons Daenerys Targaryen. Daenerys has become a pop culture icon, and whether you like it or not, you have to bow down to the queen when even ‘The Baddest Man on Planet’ calls the character a badass. Though Daenerys later goes on to become a ruthless tyrant, and gets killed off for the same, her rise to power has been an inspiring story to many. One of them being Prince Harry.

The history of the British Royals has been not much different from Game of Thrones, and has seen a fair share of violence and disputes. Prince Harry’s own mother died under mysterious circumstances, and his life hasn’t been a particularly easy one. In his memoir, Spare, he mentions Daenerys Targaryen as his comfort character during his lowest moments, and says:
“Her story resembles mine in many ways. She is so inspiring to me. Just like Daenerys, I will take back what was stolen from me. I will take it.”
