The sixth series, starring Staunton as Queen Elizabeth II and West as Prince Charles, was also its last and depicted the events surrounding Diana, Princess of Wales’ death and the fledgling romance between Prince William and Kate Middleton.
Picking up 11 nominations was hit show Baby Reindeer, which follows the character Donny Dunn, played by writer Richard Gadd, as he is stalked by a woman called Martha Scott.
Gadd, who has said the series is inspired by his real-life experiences, received nominations in the outstanding lead actor in a limited or anthology series category, for his role playing Donny, and another for outstanding writing.
Following the series release a woman called Fiona Harvey came forward claiming to be the woman who inspired the character Martha and filed a lawsuit accusing Netflix of defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence, gross negligence, and violations of her right of publicity.
