Royal drama “The Crown” was last year’s big winner, but will miss an award this year

Filming on the latest series was put on pause “as a mark of respect” 

Succession was the favourite to replace it in the hotly-contested best drama category, and it pulled through.

Hilarious dig at royalty

Succession Writer Jesse Armstrong even joked about King Charles the third after winning Best Drama Series

The top categories saw many return winners, in Succession, Ted Lasso, Zendaya and Jean Smart. 

But it was the Saturday Night Live” emcee turned Emmy’s host who’s dig at Leo DiCaprio stole the show.

The White Lotus emerged as the big winner too, sweeping best supporting actor and actress.

Outstanding Lead Actress went to Zendaya for Euphoria.

Meanwhile, the Ted Lasso folks had another very good night, picking up the award for Outstanding Comedy Series for the second year in a row.

Historic moment

Netflix sensation Squid Game made history, with its lead actor scoring an emmy, becoming the first actor from a non-English language series to win at the awards.

Harry has long spoken out about his anger over press intrusion, which he blames for his mother’s death

Prince Harry, his wife Meghan and her mother were involved in a “near catastrophic car chase” involving paparazzi photographers in New York.

The incident took place after they left the Ms. Foundation for Women, where Meghan was honoured for her work.

“This relentless pursuit, lasting over two hours, resulted in multiple near collisions involving other drivers on the road, pedestrians and two NYPD (New York Police Department) officers,” said Prince Harry’s spokesperson.

The chase involved paparazzi driving on the sidewalk, running red lights and driving while taking pictures.

“I thought that was a bit reckless and irresponsible,” New York Mayor Eric Adams said.

Harry has long spoken out about his anger over press intrusion, which he blames for his mother’s death.

Princess Diana was killed when her limousine crashed as it sped away from chasing paparazzi in Paris in 1997.

Harry and Meghan stepped down from their royal duties in 2020, partly over what they described as intense media harassment.

Harry is currently involved in numerous court cases in London where he has accused papers of using unlawful methods to target him and his family.

Hanks told the host: “I could be hit by a bus tomorrow and that’s it, but performances can go on and on and on and on.”

The award-winning actor acknowledged that tech developments could lead to an AI-generated version of himself appearing in films he may not not normally choose.
