Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have been completely snubbed in the nominations for the Primetime Emmys.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's Netflix docu-series Harry & Meghan has not been put forward for recognition for the prestigious awards.


Shows eligible for the Primetime Emmys must have been broadcast in America between June 2022 and May 2023.

Meghan and Harry's Netflix show was released in December 2022.

However, it is not all bad news for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

The series titled Harry & Meghan has been nominated for a Hollywood Critics Award in the Best Streaming Nonfiction category.

The nomination is a huge boost for the couple after suffering recent setbacks in commercial projects.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's docu-series broke streaming records as it became the biggest Netflix documentary debut, with a total 81.6 million hours watched on its first four days of release.
