Emilia Clarke spills beans on Game of Thrones' coffee cup culprit theguardian.com

The actor has revealed who was responsible for the takeaway drink that went viral during the last season of the HBO hit.
Emilia Clarke has revealed the culprit behind the errant coffee cup which made a viral cameo in the final season of Game of Thrones: co-star Conleth Hill. The British actor made the claim on Tonight With Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday, telling the late-night host that the actor who played Lord Varys in the HBO hit was responsible for the blunder.

The white takeaway cup made headlines around the world earlier this year, after being spotted during a feast scene in Winterfell castle in the episode The Last of the Starks. Clarke’s character Daenerys Targaryen was seated at a table close by, leading to a string of online memes about the mother of dragons’ fondness for caffeinated drinks. While it was later edited out, even HBO acknowledged the gaffe, with the official Game of Thrones Twitter account tweeting that the real mistake was that Daenerys had actually ordered a herbal tea and not a coffee.
