The audience gasped after the 'Succession' writer made the quip and Brian Cox, who plays a king-like media mogul in the show, warned: 'Keep it royalist!'
He said:"Big week for Successions: new king in the U.K., this for us. Evidently a little more voting involved in our winning than [for] Prince Charles."
He turned back to look at the cast as he made his remarks, and Cox advised:"Keep it royalist, keep it royalist!" The cast and crew of Succession accept the Outstanding Drama Series award onstage during the 74th Primetime Emmys at Microsoft Theater on September 12, 2022 in Los Angeles, California. Succession writer Jesse Armstrong caused a stir with an apparent dig at the British monarchy.
Armstrong's royal joke, made just days after King Charles took the throne, sparked headlines around the world and divided opinion online.
