The Game Of Thrones star has been open about her upbringing before she found fame at the age of 12 as Arya Stark on the HBO series.
Growing up in Somerset with her mum Hilary and her three siblings – James, Beth and Ted – Maisie has opened up about her relationship with her estranged father for the first time.

The actress spoke of “traumatic” experiences in her childhood that led to her breaking off contact with her father at the age of eight.
Maisie said she went through a lot of “pain” and “anxiety” in her early childhood but said she feels like she was “indoctrinated” in a “child cult” as she didn’t realize that the behavior she was being subjected to was exposed to being ‘wrong’.
She broke down in tears and said: “Well I had a traumatic relationship with my father as a little kid about eight years ago. And I don’t want to get into that too much because it affects my siblings and my whole family.

“But that really took a lot out of my childhood. For as long as I can remember I’ve really had trouble sleeping.
“I think a lot of the traumatic things that happened I didn’t realize were wrong. But I knew — I would look around at other kids and say, ‘Why don’t they seem to understand this pain or fear or anxiety? Where does the joy come from – when does it come for me?’
Maisie tearfully said that as a child she felt an “impending sense of doom” and a feeling that something bad was about to happen, but she didn’t know how to feel happy.
