Emilia Isabelle Euphemia Rose Clarke was born on 23 October 1986 in London, and grew up in Berkshire. Her father (died 10 July 2016) was a theatre sound engineer from Wolverhampton, West Midlands. She has an older brother. Clarke's interest in acting began at the age of three after seeing the musical Show Boat, on which her father was working. She was educated at Rye St Antony School and at St Edward's School, graduating in 2005. She attended Drama Centre London, and graduated in 2009. Clarke stated in a 2018 interview that her maternal grandmother was the result of a secret affair her great grandmother had with a man from the Indian subcontinent. Her grandmother wore light makeup to hide the dark complexion she had inherited from her father. She credits this as her family having a "history of fighters," saying that “The fact that had to hide her skin colour, essentially, and try desperately to fit in with everyone else must’ ve been incredibly difficult.”
