Meghan Markle's Hollywood stardom only briefly converged with her time in the spotlight as an impending member of the British royal family. And the creator of the television show "Suits," which Markle starred in seven seasons, says the royals gave their two cents on what the future Duchess could and could not say on the program.
"[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," Aaron Korsh admitted, not naming individuals.
"I remember one was a particular line of dialogue. "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 [Patrick J.
Adams] and Rachel [Markle] 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," Korsh revealed to The Hollywood Reporter. "I presume because they didn’t want people cutting things together of her saying "cock." So, we had to change it to "bulls---" instead of "poppycock," and I did not like it because I’d told my in-laws that [poppycock] was going to be in the show.
There was maybe one or two more things, but I can’t remember." Representatives for Buckingham Palace and Markle did not immediately return Fox News Digital's request for comment.
