ROYAL FAMILY WANTED MEGHAN MARKLE’S SCRIPT CHANGED?

Aaron Korsh, the creator of hit series Suits, revealed that the royal family had a line removed from the script in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. Meghan Markle, who is married to the Duke of Sussex, Prince Harry played the role of Rachel Zane on the legal drama series from 2011 to 2018.

In 2017, Meghan and Prince Harry announced that they were engaged. That same year the USA Network announced that the seventh season of the series would be the last. However, the series had a total of nine seasons which ended in 2019. The series has since come to Netflix and smashed streaming records.

The show’s creator Korsh, revealed that the royal family wanted the word “poppycock” removed from the script. The word was an inside joke with his in laws and had planned on Meghan’s character Rachel saying it in a scene with her on-screen husband Mike Ross, played by Patrick J. Adams.

AARON KORSH: ‘I DID NOT LIKE IT’

The creator went on to say that he was not happy to remove the line from the script.

“So, in the episode, Mike and Rachel 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,” he said 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… and I did not like it because I’d told my in-laws that [poppycock] was going to be in the show,” he continued.

Korsh went on to say that he was aware the royal family had the scripts but he does not recall how the palace got ahold of the scripts.

“I was aware that they were reading them because I got the feedback, but I don’t remember the process by which they got them,” he added.
