‘That is the first time in that category any show has been nominated every single season it has been on. So you are already part of greatness.
The hit Netflix royal historical drama had been nominated for that particular award ever since its first series in 2016.
Its last series, which aired on November 16, was split into two parts, with the second scheduled for December 14.
Also starring are Imelda Staunton as Queen Elizabeth, Jonathan Pryce as Prince Philip, and Lesley Manville as Princess Margaret.
The sixth series will follow The Royal Family from 1997, when Princess Diana (Elizabeth Debicki) passed away, to 2005, the wedding of Prince Charles (Dominic West) and Camilla Parker Bowles (Olivia Williams).
The Crown focuses on the reign of Queen Elizabeth II, and was created and primarily written by Peter Morgan.
It is a continuation of the film The Queen (2006), starring Helen Mirren, also created by Peter, 60, which depicted Princess Diana’s death.
The Crown also takes inspiration from Peter’s play The Audience which revolves around The Queen and all the prime ministers that have served under her.

Though series six is the final series, this may not be the end of The Crown as even more of the Royals’ scandals could be set to feature in a spin-off.
The scandals would include Sarah Ferguson’s toe-sucking and Prince Andrew’s romance with US former actress, according to The Crown’s executive producer Andy Harries.
A spin-off would be welcome news to fans disappointed that the show didn’t continue to the modern day.
Its early end was a deliberate choice by creator Peter, who said 2005 was the ‘cutoff’ to keep The Crown ‘historical, not journalistic’.
