The show, the ‘fictional’ (don’t forget!) drama of which has paled into insignificance in recent weeks compared with real Windsor shenanigans, lost out in the Best TV Series – Drama category to Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon. There was, at least, UK representation on the podium for that show as director and co-showrunner Miguel Sapochnik accepted the award. “It was really heart-warming to know we tread in the footsteps of Game of Thrones, because that was one really good show,” he said. In fact his Targaryen family drama went one better, as the original series never won a Golden Globe.
