‘Game of Thrones’ Season 6: Margaery Tyrell’s fate and her bad luck being queen
Margaery Tyrell in “Game of Thrones,” played by Natalie Dormer is a powerful yet sorry character. Her bad luck being the queen starts with her marriage to Renly Baratheon, portrayed by Gethin Anthony and continued in “Game of Thrones” Season 5. Unintentionally, Dormer has dished out some interesting details on her character in Season 6 during an interview on “Jimmy Kimmel Live.” Will her bad luck continue in “Game of Thrones” Season 6? First a quick recap of her bad luck being a queen.

Margaery’s husband Renly died after he laid claim to the Iron Throne. He was killed by a shadow creature conjured by older brother Stannis Baratheon’s (Stephen Dillane) “Red Woman” advisor Melisandre (Carice van Houten). Lord Petyr Baelish (Aidan Gillen) rescues Margaery and brings her to King’s Landing after she expresses her desire to be “The Queen,” not just a queen.
Soon she finds a way to betroth the evil King Joffrey Baratheon (Jack Gleeson). After all, she belongs to the Tyrell family and still has a powerful grandmother Olenna Tyrell (Diana Rigg). However, as fate would have it, Margaery’s dream of being “The Queen” is short-lived. King Joffrey dies on the day of their wedding, fatally poisoned during their wedding feast.
She doesn’t give up. On her grandmother Olenna’s advice, she secretly enters the bed chambers of Joffrey’s younger brother Tommen Baratheon, now king, portrayed by Dean-Charles Chapman.
Margaery does not find it difficult to charm Tommen, still very young and naive. But now that he is King, Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey), Tommen’s mother does not object to the relationship as Lannisters, especially Tommen’s grandfather, Tywin Lannister (Charles Dance) always keeps the family legacy ahead of everything and sees benefit in the match.
Once again, Margaery Tyrell becomes Queen Margaery Tyrell, wife to King Tommen and once again her dreams are shattered. Her mother-in-law Cersei puts her and her homosexual brother Loras Tyrell (Finn Jones) into the rogue hands of the Faith Militants, led by the High Sparrow (Jonathan Pryce) who throws Margaery into the dungeons for hiding the Loras’ homosexual encounters.
That was the last time “Game of Thrones” fans saw Margaery, she was in a dungeon. Thus, her bad luck being a queen continues. Both her husbands died when she was queen. Will Tommen die too? Is that changing in “Game of Thrones” Season 6? Well, according to a Dormer statement, she has been in Belfast and Spain a lot on shooting purposes. Let’s hope she “stays queen” for sometime more.
