LONDON -- The Queen of the Seven Kingdoms has spoken, and there's only one person she has in mind for the U.S.'s version of the Iron Throne.

It's not Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton, either.

On Tuesday morning, following Monday's opening day of the Democratic National Conference -- during which Michelle Obama made a speech that essentially stole the show -- Irish actress Victoria Smurfit floated the following suggestion.

Lena Headey -- who plays Cersei Lannister in Game of Thrones -- was quick to jump on the idea.

This isn't the first time Headey's waded in on the political scene, either. She previously slammed Donald Trump and made her feelings clear about former Brexit campaigner Boris Johnson on Twitter.

The First Lady has made herself a powerful ally.
