Yesterday I came across an interview with Oona Chaplin who is currently on the BBC series "The Hour". During said interview, Ooona mentions, " I’ve got a part in Game of Thrones."
No confirmation has been found yet, however, while looking for confirmation I did see that Chaplin is a client of the Troika Agency who are also manage Richard Madden (Robb Stark), Lena Headey (Cersei Lannister, Carice van Houten (Melisandre) and Hannah Murray (Gilly). HBO definitely has a connection to that agency for whatever that's worth as proof.
Up til now Oona has had small roles and is most famous for her famous grandparents. Yes Oona Chaplin as in Charlie Chaplin and Oona Chaplin's granddaugheter and great grandaughter of Eugene O'Neill.
Until we have confirmation we have her video showreel.
*****UPDATE***** Oona Chaplin is Jeyne, but noe confirmation on which Jeyne!
LOS ANGELES, Calif. --
Oona Chaplin, the granddaughter of Charlie Chaplin, has joined the cast of “Game of Thrones” for Season 2, Access Hollywood has confirmed.
Access has learned Oona will play Jeyne.
A last name was not given for the character, but there are a handful of Jeyne’s in the books from writer George R. R. Martin.
Sansa Stark has a best friend named Jeyne. Additionally, another Jeyne, enters the series in book 2, as – in the most spoiler-free way possible — a friend of sorts of another of Eddard Stark’s children.

I had assumed she will play Jeyne Westerling on initially reading that Oona was cast in Game of Thrones. Jeyne Poole doesn't make a lot of sense to me really. The age is a bit off. The only description of Jeyne Poole I recall is that she is a very pretty girl.
Jeyne Westerling on the other hand has a few references to her appearance.
- Jeyne is a shy, pretty girl though not a beauty to lose a kingdom for.
- She is slender of posture.
- has chestnut curls and heart-shaped face and brown eyes.
That sounds alot like Oona Chaplin to me!
