Emilia Clarke enjoys a modest staycation in British seaside town - despite being worth £15million thanks to her Game Of Thrones fortune
Emilia Clarke has enjoyed a modest staycation in a British seaside town despite being worth a cool £15million.
The Game of Thrones star, 37, went for a dip in the chilly sea before walking back through the town wearing her towel and swimsuit.
She was enjoying the break in Deal, between Margate and Dover in Kent and was joined by a group of pals.
Emilia penned in the caption: 'Turns out I do like to be beside the seaside. Summer, we're ready.'
In one snap she put on a radiant display in a stunning selfie as she posed in some fields and had a flower in her hair.

The actress starred as Daenerys Targaryen - dubbed the Mother of Dragons - in the cult HBO fantasy epic Game of Thrones.
Back in February Emilia was made an MBE alongside her mother Jenny for their work establishing a brain injury charity.
Emily and her mother co-founded SameYou, a brain injury recovery charity they established after the actress survived two brain haemorrhages.
The first, a bleed on the brain, happened while she was working out in a north London gym in 2011.
She founded the charity after she was shocked to find out how understaffed rehabilitation services were.
Emilia first had a bleed on her brain in 2011, just after the first series of Game Of Thrones had finished filming, and she lost her ability to speak as she almost slipped into a coma.
Her second bleed in 2013 needed surgery after scans showed it had doubled in size, and Emilia has previously told how she was in the 'really small minority' of people who have survived and been left with 'no repercussions'.
She suffered the subarachnoid haemorrhage after an aneurysm – a weak area in a blood vessel – on the surface of her brain burst.

She also shared some scenic snaps from the time away as she looked out a stunning view from on top of a hill
She also enjoyed some time on the beach after her swim as she hugged a child and looked out over the sea view
They are most common in people aged between 45 and 70 and can leave patients with extreme tiredness, problems sleeping, headaches, vision disturbances and loss of movement, but Emilia previously said she has been left unaffected.
The experience prompted Emilia and her mother Jennifer to set up charity SameYou to raise funds and help increase neuro-rehabilitation access after brain injury and stroke.
Emilia has discussed having surgery to restore blood flow, as well as medication to relieve the pain.
Her life-saving treatment has left her with titanium in place of sections of her skull and scarring.
The star has previously admitting she was 'more afraid of being fired than dying'.

She told Harper's Bazaar: 'I wasn't afraid of dying. I was afraid of being fired! I decided: ''This is not something that's going to define me''. I never gave into any feeling of 'Why me? This sucks'. I was just like – gotta get back on it.
'If I'm being brutally honest, the whole thing made me feel very ashamed. Like I was broken. As though the producers must think I'm an unreliable person that they've hired.
'If I hadn't had a brain haemorrhage, I might have turned into a right old d**khead, thinking I was the bee's knees, living in Hollywood. I'm so much more aware of what's happening, in the moment that it's happening.
'I don't worry about failure – I thrive on failure! If something goes wrong, I always think you can fix it. It hurts, it's scary, but then you can do anything.'
