Mending the royal rift between Prince William and Prince Harry was something the Queen had hoped to see happen before she died.

Room for reconciliation. The seating chart at Queen Elizabeth II‘s funeral was not a snub at Prince Harry from King Charles III, royal historian Gareth Russell exclusively tells Us Weekly.

The hope of reconciliation. Prince Harry has been granted “a number of olive branches” from the royal family in the days after Queen Elizabeth II’s death, royal expert Myko Clelland exclusively tells Us Weekly.

Succession won big Sunday night at the Emmys! And also threw a little shade at England’s new monarch?

Succession won Outstanding Drama at the Emmys last night, for the second year in a row. It defeated crowd favorites such as Severance (a critics’ darling and a fan favorite), Squid Game (Netflix’s most-watched TV series in a foreign language), and Stranger Things (which holds the same record but in English). Over the course of its three seasons, Succession has become an awards season behemoth – one you simply expect to see score nominations and wins across multiple categories.

Selena Gomez wore at this year’s Emmy Awards. At the 74th annual award show on Monday, the 30-year-old actor appeared on stage alongside her Only Murders in the Building co-stars, Steve Martin and Martin Short.

After helping Succession creator Jesse Armstrong avoid a Royal faux pas at the Emmys last night, the HBO show’s star may have committed one of his own per Hollywood’s unspoken etiquette.

The winners of this year's Emmy Awards, the most prestigious honours in television, have been announced. Succession, Ted Lasso, The White Lotus and Squid Game are among the shows that walked away with top awards.

There were tears and surprises at last night's Emmy Awards on Monday as Julia Garner triumphed for playing the role of Ruth in Netflix’s Ozark. It was Julia's third Emmy having won the accolade in 2019 and again in 2020.The star fought of other nominees to win the award including Patricia Arquette who was nominated for her role in Severance.

K.J. Yossman “Succession” showrunner Jesse Armstrong made a dig at the U.K.’s King Charles III during his Emmys acceptance speech on Monday night. Taking to the stage along with the show’s execs and castmembers, including Brian Cox, Jeremy Strong, Sarah Snook, Matthew Macfadyen and Nicholas Braun, to accept the Emmy for outstanding drama series, Armstrong said, “Big week for successions. New king in the U.K., this for us.” Armstrong, who is British, then said: “Evidently a little bit more voting in our winning than Prince Charles,” prompting gasps from the audience and some of his team on stage.

Succession, Ted Lasso and The White Lotus were the victors in their respective drama, comedy and limited categories at this year’s Emmy Awards. In total, the trio bagged 12 awards at Monday’s ceremony, including the big prize in their respective fields.

Jesse Armstrong said it had been a “big week for successions” as his hit HBO drama scooped a top prize at the 74th Emmy Awards. In his acceptance speech for the final award of the night, the British writer suggested there had been “a bit more voting involved” in the show’s win than with the ascension of the new King.

Succession star Brian Cox urged the show’s creator Jesse Armstrong to “keep it royalist” as the show triumphed at last night’s Primetime Emmy Awards.When the show’s cast and crew assembled on stage to collect the outstanding drama series prize, Armstrong drew a comparison between Succession‘s themes and the accession of the UK’s new monarch following the passing of Queen Elizabeth II.“Big week for successions,” Amstrong told the crowd. “New King in the UK, this for us.

Succession won the top award of the night at the Emmys and the show’s creator Jesse Armstrong took the moment to throw shade at King Charles III.

Succession creator Jesse Armstrong, who saw his HBO series take home four Emmys this season, made it brief, really brief, backstage.

Caroline Framke Chief TV Critic The moment Sheryl Lee Ralph opened her mouth and let loose the first jaw-dropping note of Dianne Reeves’ “Endangered Species,” it was an Emmy speech for the ages. Quaking with emotion and palpably overcome, Ralph’s acceptance for her best supporting actress trophy was as impassioned as it was memorable — especially, perhaps, because she didn’t have to recite a litany of names before the timer ran out. Instead, a simple ticker of people Ralph wished to mention scrolled by in a chyron as she lifted her Emmy to the sky in triumph.   With most nominees appearing to submit names ahead of time in case they should win, the most memorable speeches of the night were freer to go off-script and embrace their moment, in the moment. After Ralph’s gorgeous display of joy, Lizzo’s surprise reality series win was capped with a tearful speech that didn’t have to include the many names of “Watch Out for the Big Grrrls” producers at all. Instead, they whizzed by underneath as she told the story of growing up wishing “to see someone fat like me, Black like me, beautiful like me.”  

Perhaps the most controversial part of the Emmys, on a night when political speechifying was fleeting, came at the very end, when Succession‘s Jesse Armstrong attempted to make a quip or light snipe about the British monarchy, now dominating the television landscape following the death of Queen Elizabeth.

Sheryl Lee Ralph! Jennifer Coolidge!), and in the show itself (the “Good Burger” reunion!). Ultimately, the night fell in line from the 2021 Emmys, when mega-wins by “The Crown,” “Ted Lasso” and “Mare of Easttown” made the winners at the ceremony fairly predictable as soon as the nominations were announced. Still, there were some disappointments, especially for freshman shows that broke into the nominations with a lot of buzz — but no Emmy hardware to show for it.
