Aimee Richardson (born December 29, 1997) is an actress from Northern Ireland. She is best known for her role as Princess Myrcella Baratheon. She played this character in the first two seasons of the TV show Game of Thrones (2011–2012).

Aimee Richardson's Acting Journey

Early Life and First Roles

Aimee Richardson was born in Bangor, County Down, Northern Ireland. This was on December 29, 1997. She started her acting career at a young age.

Her first major acting role was in 2008. She played Georgina in the romantic comedy movie Miss Conception.

Playing a Princess in Game of Thrones

In 2011, Aimee was chosen to play Princess Myrcella Baratheon. This was for the popular TV series Game of Thrones. She appeared in the first two seasons of the show. Her character was then sent away in the story. So, she did not appear in the third or fourth seasons.

In 2014, it was announced that Myrcella would return for the fifth season. However, the role was given to another actress, Nell Tiger Free. The show's producers, HBO, did not explain why this change was made.

Aimee had a funny and positive reaction to this news. She uploaded a video online. In the video, she sat on a pavement. She wore a princess crown and held a sign that said "PRINCESS FOR HIRE". Many news sources found her reaction very funny. They described it as "hilarious". It is quite common for characters to be recast in TV shows. Nell Tiger Free later said Aimee handled it "brilliantly".

Other TV Shows and Movies

After her time on Game of Thrones, Aimee continued acting. She has been cast in several other television shows. These include The Sparticle Mystery in 2015. She also appeared in Storyland (2016) and My Mother and Other Strangers (2016).
