'Succession' showrunner Jesse Armstrong suggested his Emmy win was more 'legitimate' than King Charles III's accession to the throne.

It’s a team effort starting with the engine room of the writers room, the producers who support us, the directors led by Mark Mylod, the extraordinary cast who we’re surrounded by who are – oh my goodness – and our amazing crew and HBO who protect and support us.

The fact that it is my first nomination, my first invitation to the awards and guess what? So, all of those people deserve a right to a home and be able to go back home and be welcomed. Other winners included Lizzo, who won the Emmy for best competition series, for her Amazon show Watch Out For The Big Grrrls. "Change the fact that this is the first time since the 1980s then that people in a major league black cast have all been nominated.

Royal drama The Crown, which dominated the 2021 awards, was not televised within the eligibility period and so was forced to sit this year out. Hwang also made history as the first Asian to win in his category. Goldstein said of the show backstage: "I know that all of us would happily do this for 20 years. The Canadian consulate had also postponed its Emmy celebrations ahead of the ceremony in respect to the Queen. It hit me far worse than I thought it would and the enormous pressure that our king has on his shoulders now. Former Roseanne star Laurie Metcalf took best guest actress in a comedy show too. Evidently a bit more voting involved in our winning than for Prince Charles."

Succession did this to stress test the business and its capital and the directors confirmed that the company has adequate resources to continues its business for the foreseeable future. “The advice was given by a firm prior to its acquisition by the wider Succession Group who have been working closely with the FCA and independent third party advisers to undertake a review and to compensate clients where necessary.” The group said work on the calculation of compensation has commenced but is in “early stages”. Succession said case reviews, all of which have now been completed, have been undertaken by specialist third party reviewers to determine whether the advice received was in the client’s best interests. The results said: “A provision of £10.4mn is included for potential liabilities in respect of compensation owed to clients who received defined benefit pension transfer advice, which has subsequently been deemed no to be in the client’s best interests. Succession Wealth said it is “working closely” with the regulator in relation to unsuitable defined benefit transfer advice provided by an advice firm prior to its acquisition by the group.
