In the first episode of House Of The Dragon, the Game Of Thrones prequel that gave millions of viewers a new way to watch Matt Smith play a new royal with new sex problems, characters remark upon the fact that a princess who’s recently flown around on a dragon still stinks of the mythological beast.
