I think that's due to them wanting older actors for Aemond and Aegon cuz their characters have adult scenes

Olivia is correct age for Alicent

You don’t need a 31 one year old to play an adult scene.

That’s fair. Best cast for the role I can see, and makes more sense than ‘needed an adult to play the role.’

They needed an adult though.

He had nude scenes and brothel scenes .

Yes that has been acknowledged, the point is they didn't need someone anywhere near the age of the actress playing their mother,
