It is such a incredible production to be a part of and an absolute pleasure to collaborate with a wonderful and hugely talented team. This season provided an opportunity for us to experiment with a lot more commercial music as we step into the ’80s and the younger generation of the Royal Family begin to take centre stage. It was a lot of fun soundtracking this season!
I feel very honoured by the recognition of my work on the show through this nomination.”

“I am extremely humbled and honoured to be nominated for an Emmy for The Crown: Fairytale.
It was an extraordinary experience given that Diana is such an important historical figure. Having lived through that history myself, it felt particularly pertinent to be delicate yet truthful.
Creating the scene where a young and lonely Diana practises ballet before bursting into an impromptu dance to the sound of Elton John was a truly magical experience. It was an alchemy of sorts and I knew we had something special in the cutting room.
Finally, I’d like to thank my peers that have voted for ‘Fairytale’ and share a huge appreciation to Drama Editors that have continued to tell fantastic and often difficult stories throughout this precarious time we’re living in.”
– Yan Miles, ACE (Editor) – The Crown

My heart is full of gratitude to the entire Flight Attendant team, especially Kaley Cuoco, Steve Yockey, Meredith Lavender, Marcie Ulin, Susanna Fogel and the HBO Max family for the opportunity to bring “Megan” to life. As a Latina actress in this industry for over 30-plus years, I have been very blessed but let’s be honest, a role like this doesn’t come that often, no matter how long or how well you’ve done in this industry. But I kept the faith. This was truly an actor’s dream job, to have so much fun on a daily basis and so much freedom and trust to soar. I’m so happy I said yes to Ms. Kaley Cuoco to play this wonderfully flawed and lovable character. My congratulations to her on her Best Actress nomination!! Go Kaley #Badasswoman, and to all the other nominations that our fabulous show received!! Nine in total! Woo hoo! Thank you. Thank you. And thank you. xoxo Rose Perez”
