The Khaleesi's verdict is out

However, on a recent episode of The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, the Game of Thrones actor Emilia Clarke opened all her cards and revealed the true identity of the coffee cup owner. Emilia had earlier been accused by her Game of Thrones co-star Sophie Turner. However, she claimed innocence as she went on to identify Conleth Hill, who plays Lord Varys, as the actual owner of the infamous coffee cup. She even went on record and recalled Conleth's confession of the same. The talk show host, Jimmy Fallon took to Twitter and shared the clip online.

Check out the clip:

The Game of Thrones actor has attempted to exonerate herself previously by posting a picture of herself with Peter Dinklage, who played Lord Tyrion Lannister, and Jason Momoa, who played Khal Drogo in the series. She captioned the picture with hints that it could be Momoa leaving behind the empty cups of coffee on the set. However, the post did little to help her cause.
