Early life
Emilia Jones is the daughter of the Welsh singer and TV presenter Aled Jones[2] and his English wife Claire Fossett.

Career
Jones' acting career began in 2010, aged 8 years old, when she appeared as Jasmine in the film One Day.[3] She also
portrayed Alice in the Channel 4 drama Utopia,[4] and later that year played the young Queen of Years Merry Gejelh in
the British television series Doctor Who episode "The Rings of Akhaten" (2013).[5] The Boston Standard lauded Jones
for "carr[ying] off her scenes with aplomb" and for "really sell[ing] Merry’s mixture of naivety, knowledge and
childlike fear,"[6] while the website Zap2It praised Jones' performance for being "spot on."[7] In film, Jones has had
small roles in One Day (2011) and Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (2011).[3]

In 2011, Jones made her theatrical debut after playing the princess Young Fiona in the original cast of Shrek the
Musical at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane.[3][8] In 2013, Jones appeared in Rebecca Lenkiewicz's stage adaptation of
Henry James's The Turn of the Screw. She held the role of nine-year-old Flora with two other girls, alternating
between them each night. After her performance on press night, Jones commented, "I don’t find it scary, I just find it
so much fun. I love every bit of it."[9][10][11]
