Bonham Carter took to the stage with her castmates Josh O’Connor (Prince Charles) and Erin Doherty (Princess Anne) to accept the award, making sure to highlight that there were many other people responsible for the show’s success (249 cast members, to be exact):
Thank you so much. Obviously, we are all here because of other people’s really good work.
Speaking on behalf of the cast, she went on to thank the writers and producers of The Crown before telling everyone just how wonderful working on the show is:
It is really as good as it gets, this show. I really recommend it if you want another job.
