Natalie Dormer caricature
Reading is proud to call the brilliant Natalie Dormer one of its own. Before she was navigating the treacherous courts of Westeros, Natalie was a student right here in Reading, developing the talent that would lead to her breakout role as Anne Boleyn in The Tudors.
In this Natalie Dormer caricature, I’ve captured the “enigmatic smirk” and sharp intelligence that made her portrayal of Margaery Tyrell in Game of Thrones a global phenomenon. Though her character met a dramatic end at the hands of Cersei Lannister, Natalie remains a fan favourite.
