Emilia Clarke is an English actress. She has starred as Daenerys Targaryen on Game of Thrones, and has given leading performances in the films Spike Island, Dom Hemingway, Terminator Genisys, Me Before You, Voice from the Stone, Solo: A Star Wars Story, Above Suspicion, Last Christmas, and, in voice role, The Amazing Maurice; and in the made-for-tv movie Triassic Attack.
Her father, Peter Roderick Clarke, was a theatre sound engineer. Her mother, Jennifer Susan “Jenny” Clarke, is the director of The Anima Foundation, a charity aimed at helping young people in Ghana.
Emilia has said that her maternal grandmother’s biological father was an Indian man with whom her own mother had had an affair. She specified:
The fact that [my grandmother] had to hide her skin color, essentially [by wearing makeup], and try desperately to fit in with everyone else must’ve been incredibly difficult… So, yeah: history of fighters.
Emilia’s paternal grandfather was Leonard Clarke (the son of Albert Clarke and Mary Southall). Leonard was born in Wolverhampton, Staffordshire, England. Albert was the son of William Clarke and Sarah Ann Babb. Mary was the daughter of Benjamin Southall and Mary Ann Keay.
Emilia’s paternal grandmother was Florence E. Evans (the daughter of Bertie William Evans and Ann Emily Jones). Florence was born in Wolverhampton, Staffordshire, England. Bertie was the son of William James Evans and Esther Lowe. Ann was the daughter of Thomas Jones and Ann Emily Hopwood.
Emilia’s maternal grandfather was Raymond Dodd (the son of Bennett Dodd and Harriet/Harriett Isabella Watson). Raymond was born in Darlington, Durham, England. Bennett was the son of George Dodd and Mary Jane Swan. Harriet was the daughter of Thomas Watson and Ann Elizabeth Robinson.
Emilia’s maternal grandmother was Euphemia Ann/Anne/Annie Wrack. Euphemia was born in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India. Her mother’s name was Anna Beatrice Maude/Maud Mackrodt/McGrott. Anna was the daughter of Henry Charles Mackrodt and Annie Clair/Clare Clements. The surname Mackrodt likely indicates that Charles had some degree of German ancestry.
Emilia’s great-grandmother Anna was married to Frederick Ninian Wrack, but Emilia’s statement appears to indicate that Frederick is not her biological great-grandfather. Frederick was born in Sahibganj, Bengal, India, the son of George Frederick Wrack and Margaret Ann Mooty.

correction
she is english, scottish, french, welsh, and irish
In your other post, you said she was “possibly” Irish or French. What confirmed it for you?
Her surname is irish and english
Clarke can be either English or Scottish, and possibly also Irish. That doesn’t mean that everyone with the surname is English, Scottish and Irish. It means that multiple families across the British Isles adopted the same surname (although in Ireland, it may well have been imported from England or Scotland). Emilia Clarke is descended from one of those families.
Also, if you have sources for the rest of the ancestry you mentioned, please cite it.
