“Suits” creator Aaron Korsh revealed the royal family made some changes to Meghan Markle’s dialogue in the show after she started dating Prince Harry.
Korsh spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about what things were like after Meghan got involved with the royals, laughing, “I mean, your initial reaction is, like, ‘We’re dating a prince!’
“But the security and all that stuff, we shot in Toronto and the writers room was in L.A., so other people were dealing with that. I will say, and I think Harry put this in the book, because I heard people talking about it — [the royal family] weighed in on some stuff. Not many things, by the way, but a few things that we wanted to do and couldn’t do, and it was a little irritating.”

Korsh added of what things he was talking about, “I remember one was a particular line of dialogue and, look, I’ll just say what the line was. My wife’s family, when they have a topic to discuss that might be sensitive, they use the word, ‘poppycock.’ Let’s say you wanted to do something that you knew your husband didn’t want to do, but you wanted to at least discuss it, and in just discussing it, you wouldn’t hold him to anything he said, you’d be like, ‘It’s poppycock.’
“So, in the episode, Mike [played by Patrick J. Adams] and Rachel [Meghan’s character] were going to have a thing, and as a nod to my in-laws, we were going to have her say, ‘My family would say poppycock.’ And the royal family did not want her saying the word. They didn’t want to put the word ‘poppycock’ in her mouth. I presume because they didn’t want people cutting things together of her saying ‘cock.’ So, we had to change it to ‘bulls**t’
