In July 2021 Milly was cast as the young princess Rhaenyra Targaryen in the series “House of the Dragon”. She took part in the first 5 episodes of the show, after which she was replaced by Emma D’Arcy.

The fans compare Milly’s heroine to her distant descendant Daenerys Targaryen, portrayed by the English actress Emilia Clarke. Hopefully, the young Australian actress Milly Alcock will repeat the success of her English colleague.
