As shown later in this article, the most obvious choice is the Queen of Thorns, Olena Tyrell.
However, while other less suspicious individuals sometimes grow up, they are almost certainly not responsible. These are first covered before looking at the evidence pointing to Olena.

Who Was King Joffrey?

Joffrey Baratheon is a fictional character in the epic fantasy novel A Song of Ice and Fire by American author George R.R. Martin and his HBO TV Game of Thrones.
He was introduced in the 1996 A Game of Thrones and later appeared in A Clash of Kings (1998) and A Storm of Swords (2000).
Joffrey is officially the eldest son and heir of King Robert Balacion and Cersei Lannister, but in reality, he is the eldest son of Cersei and her twin brother Jamie Lannister.
After Robert's death, Joffrey succeeded to the throne, coupled with the execution of Sir Ned Stark of Winterfell, causing a power struggle in Westeros, known as the Warof the Five Kings.
Characterized as a spoiled sadistic bully, he often afflicts his family and Sansa Stark, where he is engaged in his first novel.
He later marries Margaery Tyrell but is poisoned during the wedding reception. Joffrey's death is called the "Purple Wedding".
Joffrey is portrayed by Irish actor Jack Gleeson in the television adaptation, Game of Thrones. He received international and critics praise for his character in GoT.

Why Do People Hate King Joffrey?

Joffrey is an amoral sadist who disguises his cruelty with a skinny veneer of charm.
This is first-class epitomized with the aid of using his reaction while his (then) betrothed offends him.
Joffrey declares that his mom had taught him in no way to strike a woman, and so commissions a knight of the Kingsguard to hit her instead.
He enjoys forcing human beings to combat death and enforces merciless punishments for lesser crimes.
He has no feeling of private responsibility, blaming screw-ups on others. He lacks self-discipline and frequently insults his allies and his own circle of relatives members.
While clever and cunning, he is likewise impulsive, which regularly leads him to make irrational decisions.
He seems to have without a doubt no pastimes aside from sadism and excessive violence, paying no interest to absolutely governing his nation or to something regarding s*x, even if he is getting fantastically lovely women.

Who Killed Joffrey According To The Analysis?

Episode 3 of Game of Thrones Season 7 "The Queen's Justice" ended with a considerable revelation by Jamie Lannister.
The complete truth about Joffrey's death.
Kingsguard's one-handed leader (or is Queensguard now?) took his army to the High Garden to remove the threat of Tyrell.
During these last scenes, viewers recalled that Cersei's eldest son was killed by the only Lady Olena.
After Cersei Lannister killed all her rivals at the end of Season 6, the unparalleled head of the Tyrell family worked with Daenerys Targaryen to defeat the Lannisters.
Her poison was intended to kill her. There is no doubt that Jaime regretted the kindness he showed to Mrs. Olena after hearing her last words from Mrs. Olena.
I'd hate to die like your son. Clawing at my neck, foam and bile spilling from my mouth, eyes blood red, skin purple. It must have been horrible for you, as a Kingsguard, as a father. It was horrible enough for me, a shocking scene, not at all what I intended. You see, I'd never seen the poison work before. Tell Cersei. I want her to know it was me.
Since Season 4, Cersei has believed that Tyrion was the murderer of her eldest son. The reign of his despot ended with Episode 2 "The Lion and the Rose" in Season 4.
The event was well known as the "Purple Wedding" because it took place after Joffrey and Margaery Tyrell (Orena's granddaughter) got married.
Tyrion was accused of murdering his nephew because he was the one who mistakenly delivered the wine that fatally poisoned Joffrey.
In fact, it was Olena who poisoned the wine. She used Sansa Stark in the process to arrange with Little Finger to end Joffrey's life.
Littlefinger worked with Dontos Horrard to deliver the poison hidden in the stone attached to the necklace given to Olena by Tyrion's wife.
During the feast, Tyrell's proprietress sneaked a poison stone out of Sansa's necklace, put it in Joffrey's wine glass, cursed her uncle, cut a wedding cake with a sword, and played a gorgeous clown.
The King's child drank toxic alcohol and suffered and died.

People Also Ask

Did Margaery Know About The Poison?

On the TV show, Margery is unaware that the wine is poisoned. This doesn't make sense because she could have drank from the cup at any time. Now that they have become her husband and wife, Joffrey could have offered her her first bite, which she would probably accept.

Why Did Lady Olenna Tyrell Kill Joffrey?

Olena's decision to kill Joffrey stems from a previous conversation with Sansa, who described Joffrey as a "devil" and "beast." Belish later revealed that Sansa had bigger plans for the seven kingdoms, but she betrayed the Lannisters and supported the Tyrells without trusting Joffrey.

Does Cersei Find Out Who Killed Joffrey?

After drinking poisonous wine, Olena confesses to Jaime that she is behind Joffrey's murder and tells him to convey this message to Cersei. On the surface, this is the end of many burns from a woman who has smoked more than all three Daenerys dragons combined.

Conclusion

So why did Olena kill Joffrey, who had just made her granddaughter a queen? The Tyrells were in a pretty good political position at the time, thanks to their royal match and their marriage to Cersei's Loras. But Joffrey's cruel reputation was so widespread that Lady Olena didn't want Margery to be the victim of his evil and malicious whims.
