And since the writers invented royal houses that don't really exist for the show - who cares XDD

Yeah, exactly. Most people wouldn't see the difference between the real 'Black Forrest' in Germany, and the dark old forests in Oregon.

We have big movie shootings in Berlin and Babelsberg Studious on a regular basis. So no big deal. We have the locations, the equipment and the personel. They just have to ask the 'Deutsche Filmförderung' for a fund ;-)) I think that probably works better for Movies...to get the film grant funds to film in a foreign location. TV Shows would have Union problems with doing that. The Show would have to hire people at the location, to qualify for the funds...but then they would probably still have to be paying their other crew back home. With a Movie, they simply contract for the crews with each location. Movies are free to do that. In fact, a lot of Movies these days are filmed outside the US, to escape having to hire the more expensive Union labor here in the US.
