What to Expect from House of the Dragon Season 3 Episode 3: Is Rhaenyra Ready for the Throne?
While the thought of seeing Rhaenyra spend an entire episode as the rightful Queen on House of the Dragon Season 3 Episode 3, doubt begins to cast on whether she is able to rule or not. Even though she has done what needed to be done to prove that she is the one, can she meet the standards her father set for her when he ruled?
Can Rhaenyra make the kingdom see she is the right person to rule? Or will they continue to fight against her? Of course, the Greens won’t go down without a fight, but it will be interesting to see who else continues to join their fight.
Even though Alicent encouraged Rhaenyra to take King’s Landing, we wonder how long her loyalty will stand with her childhood friend. Can she really support Rhaenyra after watching her kill her father? Or will Alicent continue to play her cards for her own benefit?
