Problem when adding the same TV Show Folder to multiple libraries

That won’t work because Game of Thrones is the ROOT so that top-level folder doesn’t count.
I do the exact same thing you do, sharing multiple folders from libraries.
Make your folder structure like this.

D:\MEDIA\TV Shows-Uncle John\Game of Thrones (2011)\Game of Thrones (2011)\Season 01
D:\MEDIA\TV Shows-Uncle John\Game of Thrones (2011)\Game of Thrones (2011)\Season 02
D:\MEDIA\TV Shows-Uncle John\Game of Thrones (2011)\Game of Thrones (2011)\Season 03
etc...

And add the path D:\MEDIA\TV Shows-Uncle John\Game of Thrones (2011)\ to your aunts library. This will give her access to the folder(tv show) Game of Thrones.

It may look silly but plex needs to know what series to match. much like
D:\MEDIA\TV Shows-Uncle John\
As you well know plex hasn’t matched a show called TV Shows-Uncle John because this is the ROOT of your library. Any additional paths you add to your libraries will also be the ROOT and plex will scan the subfolders to find shows.
