Apparently, Game of Thrones creators were so impressed with Natalie Dormer's portrayal they decided to up her age in order to cast the actress, who should be just 18 on the show. This makes their characters' age differences about 8 years — give or take a year or two.
They made Tommen a bit older on the series, but actor Dean-Charles Chapman was still 16 years old when he filmed the scene... while his scene partner Natalie Dormer was 33.
King Tommen Baratheon marries Margaery Tyrell in this episode — and the new couple enjoys quite an active wedding night, the aftermath of which we witness. In the books, though, Tommen is only 8. That doesn't stop his family from marrying him off to Margaery, but there is, thankfully, no consummation.
Tommen is seven years old at the beginning of A Game of Thrones (1996). Tommen Baratheon is not a point of view character in the novels, so his actions are witnessed and interpreted through the eyes of other people, such as his mother Cersei Lannister, his uncle Tyrion Lannister, and Sansa Stark.
Game of Thrones never explicitly revealed who Tommen's rightful heir to the Iron Throne was after his death, with Cersei seizing the crown instead. Cersei became Queen of Westeros after Tommen's death in Game of Thrones season 6, but whether or not she was actually his heir to the Iron Throne is another matter.
Cersei almost uses the poison on Tommen, to prevent him from being captured when the battle seems lost.
She had to know about their relationship, and he never consummated their marriage. Margaery remained a virgin.

On Game of Thrones, the rose is the sigil of House Tyrell, and when Margaery gave her grandmother, Lady Olenna, a note with a simple drawing of a rose, she was confirming her loyalty to her house and her family above all else, so they wouldn't be fooled by her sudden piety.
On the show he was 13/14 when he died and in the books he was 9/10. On the show he was about 13 when Joffrey does, and even though it was 2 years (I think) later for the viewer that he died, the in universe period was (should have been) months.
In a recent interview with Vulture, Dean-Charles Chapman — who played Tommen on the HBO drama — spoke about what drove his character to jump out the window of the Red Keep, explaining that it was ultimately his mother's actions.
I mean, officially, Margaery is a virgin. Even Loras is ambiguous about whether Margaery is a virgin or not, but it's definite that she didn't sleep with either of her husbands. Joffrey wasn't even interested in sex so much… [Laughs.]

Has Cersei ever had children with anyone besides Jaime? Yes, she did have one legitimate Baratheon child. Back in season 1, Cersei explains to Catelyn Stark that the first time she got pregnant, the child was Robert's. However, the black-haired baby died of a fever shortly after it was born.
Game of Thrones: Season 2
Renly hosts a tournament, with Margaery at his side. Margaery marries King Renly Baratheon, the lover of her brother Loras, though she's aware of their relationship. Two weeks afterward they have not yet consummated their marriage.
Queen Cersei Lannister is a member of House Lannister and the eldest child of Lord Tywin Lannister. She is the Queen of King Robert Baratheon, and has three children, Joffrey, Myrcella and Tommen Baratheon. She is the twin sister of Ser Jaime Lannister, and the older sister of Tyrion Lannister.
After their characters' inevitable demise, former Game of Thrones stars get to watch what happens to the loved ones left behind in Westeros -- and most of the time, it isn't very pretty. In the case of Natalie Dormer, House Tyrell didn't fair well after Margaery's own untimely death in Season 6.
Tommen Baratheon (Callum Wharry)
However, the young actor was recast with Dean-Charles Chapman (who briefly played Tommen's cousin Martyn Lannister in season three) when the role required an older actor for Tommen's more prominent and mature storylines.
Both Margaery and Cersei were imprisoned by the Faith Militant and forced to answer to the High Sparrow. Cersei did the walk of shame, while Margaery got out of it by aligning herself with the Faith Militant.
Princess Myrcella Baratheon is known to the Seven Kingdoms as the middle child of King Robert Baratheon and Queen Cersei Lannister. A member of House Baratheon of King's Landing, her siblings are Princes Joffrey and Tommen.
He just told him that Margery will also have an walk of atonement just like cersie. Tommen later tells about it to cersie, after which cersie tells it to olenna and kevan in the small council meeting.
If you study the family dynamics of the dysfunctional Lannisters it is not surprising that his mother Cersei disregarded her son's death. She, while loving Tommen, viewed him as a pawn in her game. She sought to manipulate him to control Westeros, as she did with Joffrey.
