Я поражена, сколько людей считали лесбийские отношения у молодых Рейниры и Алисенты. Ни одного намека я не увидела. А голову я своим подружкам на колени тоже кладу, и обнимашки люблю . Это же такое девчачье все.
‘It was something I was immediately conscious of when I read the script as a queer woman,’ Emily Carey said

Milly Alcock and Emily Carey confirmed that the romantic subtext between their two characters “was purposeful”.
Alcock plays the young version of Rhaenyra Targaryen while Carey plays a young Alicent Hightower in the
Game of Thrones prequel series, which debuted earlier this week.
In a roundtable interview attended by
Insider, the pair were asked about their characters’ relationship, which viewers will notice has a romantic air, but which is never physically expressed.
Alcock joked: “I’m just actually in love with Emily and so I think that’s it.”
Carey added: “It’s something we brought up with Clare Kilner, one of the directors we also work with for the younger version of the characters.
“It was something I was immediately conscious of when I read the script as a queer woman myself.”
Carey said that when she first read the script, her impression was that Rhaenyra and Alicent are “in love a little bit”, which she and Alcock decided to explore in the context of young womanhood.
“I think any woman could think back to the best friend that they had at 14 years old, and it’s a relationship and a closeness unlike any other,” Carey said. “You do toe the line between platonic and romantic.”
“Milly always says it’s like a tactile closeness and emotional closeness,” Carey said. “Especially when it’s put in the context of this world where they are the only two young girls in the Red Keep. It’s 100% something we were conscious of. And so if it reads on screen, it was purposeful.”
Если коротко и на русском, то романтический подтекст там безусловно присутствует.
