Sophie Turner won the 2024 Woman of the Year Award in the Achievement category.

Sophie Turner arranged to meet me at a restaurant near where I was staying in west London. I was surprised to see her sitting at a packed table on a cold, windy afternoon, drawing furtive glances from passers-by. Dressed in what she describes as a jaded British woman, she's trying her best to look anonymous, but her jeans are Khaite, the handbag she throws on the ground is designer, and nothing beats those willowy frames and dramatic bone structure. And you can't hide your shiny blonde hair. .

Turner oozes star quality, and her recent screen appearances have amply demonstrated how her talents have matured since she was cast as Sansa Stark in Game of Thrones as a 13-year-old schoolgirl. (Not that she's endearingly aware of this for the seasoned A-lister, but Turner is still too self-conscious to see herself on screen. It's so embarrassing!) She's impressive in her starring role as the title character on ITV . Joan, a six-part series based on the life story of infamous British jewel thief Joan Hannington. Turner, who effortlessly changes accents, wigs and personas to portray Hannington's numerous alter egos, ensures that the audience never loses sight of the character's humanity and the fierce maternal love that drives her into a life of crime. It is for this tour de force that we have decided to award her the Woman of the Year Award.

Turner admits the role is a departure. She says she's never led a TV show before and it seems a lot more challenging than a big movie like X-Men. There are too many people behind it and too many opinions. They make all the decisions and you just say, 'Yes, fine, you have to do whatever it takes.' Whereas with Joan, there was so much I could do and it was so collaborative… I feel like I'm revealing something that's very near and dear to my heart.

The good news for Turner fans is that there's a lot more exciting stuff in the works. Despite looking fresh today, I confess that I am tired from the continuous night filming. I went to bed around 4 am this morning. I'm not sure where I stand now. This grueling filming schedule is a credit to Haven, the Amazon series about the heist of a pension fund management company. Doesn’t that sound really exciting? she says with a smile. But it's actually amazing. Every episode is a cliffhanger.

She then begins work on a new project with Kit Harington (who played her half-brother Jon Snow on Game of Thrones). She describes the project as a kind of horror movie set during the Wars of the Roses. And early next year will be the release of Trust, a psychological thriller in which Turner plays an actress fleeing a high-profile Internet scandal. It really reflected my life over the past year and it was a very cathartic experience for me, she said darkly. It was an opportunity to vent some serious anger, and it was fun. So it felt like the right thing for me to do.

She is referring to the fallout following the end of her four-year marriage to Joe Jonas, one-third of the pop rock group Jonas Brothers. They truly connected in Instagram heaven, and they first met when Jonas sent her a DM. The couple tied the knot shortly after Game of Thrones reached its dramatic climax in 2019, in a Las Vegas ceremony hosted by an Elvis impersonator and live-streamed by DJ Diplo (of course) on Instagram. Priyanka Chopra, who is married to Nick Jonas, was a bridesmaid. Turner and Jonas' daughter Willa was born in 2020, followed by Delphine two years later.

So what's wrong? Turner sighed. I can't say much right now because I'm going through legal proceedings, but I was really sad. We had a beautiful relationship, but it was difficult. Although the split is clearly upsetting for her, she is happy to be back on her home shores. I'm so happy to be back. She admits she felt like her life was at a standstill until she returned to the UK. I never feel like myself when I'm not in London with my friends and family. I was away for six years while my friends were engaged and pregnant. I went out to dinner with someone the other day, and he said, 'I've never touched your belly before.' We had no significant experience with each other.

Living with Jonas, first in LA and then in Miami, she became homesick in every city we went to. The first thing I did was find a British store and stock up on a month's worth of chocolate, but what she discovered was politics. It's the hardest to deal with. Gun violence, Roe v Wade being overturned… everything is piling up. After Uvalde [school] While I was shooting, I knew it was time to get out of there.

Turner now lives in west London but is staying with a friend while her children stay with their father. Because they hate being home alone without their children. It's really painful. She says becoming a mother has changed me in every way. Before I had children, I was very depressed, anxious and isolated. [myself] many. Now I feel like I'm living my life for them. I want them to see me having a social life, enjoying my job, and thriving in my career and relationships. I want to meet a hard-working mother. I'll come back and say this. The reason mom left home is because she does this for you. So you can bring a big bundle of presents for Christmas.

Have her daughters ever seen what happened to her? Oh my God, no! Well, I made an episode of a little cartoony children's show and showed it to them, and they didn't want to know. That's good, because I don't want them to be like, 'Wow, moms are on TV!' I just say I dress up for a living.

And in many ways; She is also an ambassador for Louis Vuitton, along with Zendaya and Alicia Vikander. It's a very real relationship because I love and respect Nicolas. [Ghesquiere] There were so many of them that we had a really good laugh together… For my everyday look, I don't like anything that is comfortable but has patterns or is bold. But when I stood on the red carpet, Nicholas revealed that to me. He knows how to make you feel good with beautiful, intricate designs, but in a way that doesn't make you feel overwhelmed by them.

Turner grew up in a small village outside Warwick in the East Midlands, where her parents still live. All we have, she says, are churches and windmills. I was playing outside with my brothers every day, climbing trees and throwing pooh sticks off the bridge.

I live my life for my children. I want to meet a hard-working mother.

As a child, she was a natural performer. I recently went back and watched home videos from when he was one or two years old… each time it took the whole family about 30 minutes to sing the nursery rhyme together. She enrolled in both ballet and acting classes at the age of three.

Turner spoke passionately about Playbox, the Warwick youth theater she attended, but it was at school that she was selected for Game of Thrones. We had auditions all year long and we all thought it was fun, she says. I don't know how it happened because my audition tape was absolutely terrible. But somehow they ended up casting me.

Turner remembers debating whether her parents were cautious that she was too young to take on the role of mother, and her father was eager for her to fulfill her dramatic ambitions. She feels lucky to have parents on both ends of the spectrum. I was so happy to have that opportunity, but at the same time, I was wary of it. Of course, no one could have predicted that Game of Thrones would become the biggest show on television. Moreover, no one expected that Turner would survive the internal war as Sansa for eight seasons and eventually emerge victorious as Queen of the North. As a result, she leapt from a rural, underdeveloped area to the world stage.

At that age, all I wanted to do was act. I didn't think about my weight or appearance, I just said, 'It'll be fun, play every day.' I learned very young what I should look like and how I should act. I think child stars are ruined like this because they can't make mistakes and can't grow…

Overwhelmed by body anxiety, Turner developed bulimia and then anorexia, a truly devastating eating disorder! She says with a wry smile. It still affects me. I don't think it will ever leave you. I think you just try to learn how to manage it. I still feel a bit of fear when I see a plate of food. But the great thing about being a mom is that I get to teach my kids how to have a healthy relationship with their bodies, which I feel is justifiable to myself.

However, she remains grateful and close to the cast and crew. I went to that show from the age of 13 to 23. That was my childhood. We still have large group chats, and we try to see each other whenever we're in the same country. They are family. She plans to repaint the faded dire wolf tattoo on her arm. It will remain forever. I hope it's not too big, but that's a mistake, right?

I took a quick look and couldn't tell if she still had half of the Toy Story tattoos she got with Jonas. Nonetheless, there is no doubt that she has moved on, both professionally and personally. She has been dating Peregrine Pearson, who is set to become the 5th Viscount Cowdray, since late last year. When I asked her how she was doing, she blushed and said she was very happy. It came back very quickly. I had to go on a date to know how to do it again. That was our first and last date and it was great. What about him? He's adorable. He's fun and brings out my cheeky, fun side. He lights me up again. It will be thrilling for all of us to see how brightly Sophie Turner can shine.

Joan is available now on ITVX. Harper's Bazaar UK's December/January issue, celebrating Women of the Year, is on newsstands from November 6.
