For the Walk of Atonement, would the High Sparrow have considered it for Margaery? Or was it more specifically for Cersei? I get the feeling that the punishment is reserved for either lowborn women, and highborn women who are unpopular, so Margaery wouldn’t face it due to the risk of popular backlash. Would you say that’s the case? Linking it in with a larger question, how many of the accusations towards Margaery do you think the High Sparrow believes?

Well, I don’t think he believes any of them, given that there were only two witnesses against her, one has completely recanted and confessed to a conspiracy against Margaery, and the other has obviously been tortured.

I think the main thing for the HS is that the Walk of Atonement is directed at undermining Cersei’s legitimacy – Margaery isn’t the regent, so there’s no need for it.
