Prince Radovid

Radovid is Redania's forgotten prince, brother to King Vizimir, and by all appearances a harmless drunk — slurring through court, chasing women, contributing nothing to matters of state. He wanders the edges of power looking useless, more interested in wine and jokes than crowns or war, and nobody at court bothers to take him seriously.

Skinner plays the fool so thoroughly that the character becomes a magic trick: every slack, giggling scene plants a question the show is happy to let you sit with. It's a performance built on withholding, all loose-limbed comic timing, that turns a minor royal into one of the season's quiet pleasures — funny first, and unsettling once you start rewatching his scenes.
