PR genius: Natalie Dormer compares Margaery Tyrell in Game of Thrones to Kim Kardashian

HBO’s hit fantasy series Game of Thrones may be set in the historic fictional kingdoms of Westeros, but it’s not difficult to draw comparisons from the warring families and political power plays of the show to the real world.

In an interview with the Express, Natalie Dormer compared her character Margaery Tyrell to Kim Kardashian, saying that she is “the most modern of all the characters in Game Of Thrones.”

In the series, Margaery is adept at working her way into powerful positions, and carefully curates her own image for political value.

“She is very much a PR genius,” Dormer explained. “Now she would be one of those It girls, tweeting and Instagramming their latest dresses and raising money for orphanages by running half-marathons.”

If social media existed in the show, she’d be queen of Instagram as well as the Seven Kingdoms, Dormer reckons.

“She’d be rivalling Kim Kardashian for numbers of followers on Twitter and Instagram!”

Does that make Tommen the equivalent of Kanye West? Somehow we can’t see that connection, unless Season 6 sees the wimpy King drop the most (ice and) fire mixtape Westeros has ever seen.
