Game of Thrones wins the award for family members with more... connections than a family should have. Is someone's uncle also their father? Definitely, at least in the case of Princess Myrcella's complicated family tree. Fans meet most deaths in the dramatic fantasy series with ambivalence or even celebration, but Princess Myrcella's (Nell Tiger Free) demise was one for the tearjerking books. The princess' mother, Cersei (Lena Headey), is no stranger to revenge, and in Myrcella's case, her kiss of death happens twice.
To avenge Prince Oberyn, Ellaria (Indira Varma) dons a fierce shade of poison when she kisses Myrcella before the young princess leaves Dorne to go back to King's Landing after fleeing from threats — because her mother is kind of the worst. As only Ellaria has the antidote, Myrcella begins deteriorating on the ship. As she withers away, her "uncle" reveals that he's also her father. She admits she's always had a hunch, accepting him anyway.
Her father-uncle kisses his daughter-niece on the forehead after she dies, and not even the incestuous reveal is enough to take away the ironic Shakesperian tragedy of it all. As one of the only genuinely innocent characters in the series, her murder brutally stands out. Myrcella's death doesn't go unavenged, however. Ellaria also gets her just desserts — in the form of a poisonous kiss to her daughter, courtesy of Cersei. She may be an awful person, but mama Cersei would die for her kids (or, you know, murder someone else to avenge them).
