Emilia Clarke and Mother Awarded MBEs for Brain Injury Charity Work

The 'Game of Thrones' star and her mother, Jenny, recognized for their contributions through SameYou, a charity they founded to support people with brain injuries.

Emilia Clarke and her mother, Jenny, have been awarded MBEs (Member of the Order of the British Empire) for their services to people with brain injuries.
The pair set up a charity, SameYou, in 2019 after Emilia suffered two brain haemorrhages in her 20s and found there was inadequate support and rehabilitation after leaving hospital.
SameYou aims to provide support and rehabilitation for people with brain injuries and has funded projects like a trial of pioneering online neurorehabilitation called NROL.
Emilia and Jenny are believed to be the first mother and daughter to receive the same award in the same honours list.
Emilia Clarke is best known for her role as Daenerys Targaryen in all eight seasons of Game of Thrones.
