Acting
Aimee Richardson
Aimee Richardson, born on December 29, 1997, is a talented Irish actress celebrated for her portrayal of Myrcella Baratheon in the acclaimed HBO series Game of Thrones, which aired from 2011 to 2012. Her career began to take shape in 2008 when she played Georgina in the romantic comedy Miss Conception, marking her first significant acting role.
Richardson's breakthrough came with her casting as princess Myrcella Baratheon in Game of Thrones. Although her character was exiled after the second season and did not appear in subsequent seasons, her performance left a lasting impression. In 2014, it was announced at San Diego Comic-Con that Myrcella would return in the fifth season, only for the role to be recast with Nell Tiger Free. Following this news, Richardson humorously addressed the situation by sharing a Vine video of herself donning a princess crown and holding a sign reading "PRINCESS FOR HIRE." This lighthearted response received widespread acclaim from various media outlets, including The Daily Dot and Radio Times, who praised her for handling the recasting with grace.
In the years following Game of Thrones, Richardson continued to build her resume with roles in shows like The Sparticle Mystery (2015), Storyland (2016), and My Mother and Other Strangers (2016). Most recently, in 2023, she took on a leading role in the film Haunted Ulster Live, showcasing her versatility as an actress.
