With the demise of Joffrey in the Game Of Thrones, someone needs to replace him as King and it looks like the person who will be doing that is his brother Tommen.
And according to Natalie Dormer, Tommen's transition into King will be an interesting one. Speaking to E! News, the actress who plays the role of King Joffrey's widow Margaery said:
"The power has shifted. Tommen has been lined up as the heir, so it's now all about who can control that boy. All the women are trying to get their claws in."
Having only spent a matter of hours married to Joffrey, Margaery looks set to wed Tommen as the drama continues.

With Tommen set to take over from his brother, will he have the same level of evilness that Joffrey - played by Jack Gleeson - had? Natalie commented:
"Everyone's enjoyed hating [Joffrey] so much for four years that you kind of wonder who they're going to hate…be able to fill that Joffrey hole that is going to be left vacant now and who can we really despise in the same way because Jack did such a good job."
In another interview with E!, Natalie revealed how Lena Headey felt when she found out about the shocking rape scene that played out in last week's episode.
She said: "That was intense. I remember talking to her in the makeup trailer the day before she had to shoot that, she had mixed feelings about it for obvious reasons."
However, the actress went on to add: "But as an actor, those scenes are the ones you really get to sink your teeth into, so there's sort of a perverse enjoyment in exploring those really dramatic moments as well.
"I've got some good stuff coming up with Lena. I'm really looking forward to this season and next season primarily."
