The final season of Netflix’s The Crown leads this year’s Bafta TV Award nominations, despite controversy over its depiction of the Royal Family.

The sixth season of the royal drama, which covers the events of the 1990s including Princess Diana’s death, has been nominated for eight awards.

It received mixed reviews from critics, with one saying it was “obviously mining tragedy for ratings”.

Four actors in The Crown have received nominations, including Elizabeth Debicki, who played Diana. The show split opinion when the late princess’s ghost appeared to Prince Charles and the Queen.
