Daenerys Targaryen actress Emilia Clarke has discussed her feelings after finishing work on Game of Thrones' final season.

Clarke has been a major force on HBO's fantasy epic since its debut, shifting from a timid heiress into a ruthless leader of dragons over seven seasons. Come this April – when Thrones finally returns – Daenerys could even end up as Queen of the Realm.

If there's any realm left to rule over, that is.

She might have a fearless exterior on the show, but now the English actress has discussed how the experience of finishing Thrones was very emotional for her.

Via Daily Mail, she revealed: "It's over and I cried like a baby on the last day. I felt completely lost. It was very strange and wonderful to get this (Last Christmas, her upcoming film).

"This part couldn't be more opposite, because dragons ain't funny. Ten years is a long time. It's like losing an actual limb. I was 22 – a child – when I first walked on the Game of Thrones set. I grew up with her."

Game of Thrones season 8 will premiere on April 14, 2019. The show airs on HBO in the US and Sky Atlantic and NOW TV in the UK. Season 7 is now available to buy on DVD, Blu-ray or digital download.
