Meghan Markle was still an actress in the series “Suits” when she met Prince Harry. The creator of the series recalls some modifications ordered by the royal family.
Before her royal wedding, Meghan Markle was one of the heroines of Suits, a legal series filmed in Toronto. Aaron Korsh, the creator of the series, which was canceled in 2019 and now airs on Netflix, explains in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter the impact of the relationship between Meghan and Harry on set at the time.
If the team’s first reaction was to be excited about this love story, they quickly became disillusioned. Not least because of the security device designed to protect the shooting from paparazzi when Meghan and Harry’s relationship became public at the end of 2016.
The word “Poppycock”
He also talks about how the royal family “contributed to certain things.” “Not much, by the way, but we wanted to do some things that we couldn’t do, and that was a little irritating.”
“I don’t know how they got there [le scénario]. I knew they read it because I got feedback, but I don’t remember the process by which they got it.”
Aaron Korsh particularly remembers the use of the word “poppycock” (nonsense or nonsense in French), which he included in the dialogue and which Rachel Zane, the character played by Meghan Markle, had to say.
“As a result, Mike [Patrick J. Adams] and Rachel would get into a relationship, and to wink at my in-laws, we’d have them say, “My family would say that’s nonsense.”
Porn site
“And the royal family didn’t want her to say that word,” he continues. “They didn’t want to put the word ‘nonsense’ in her mouth. I guess it was because they didn’t want people taking recordings of her saying ‘dick.’ So we had to replace it with “Bullshit.” [conneries] instead of “poppycock,” which I didn’t like because I told my in-laws that [le mot poppycock] would be in the series.
This precaution was probably not wise. As Harry tells it in The Substitute, excerpts from Suits with Meghan Markle ended up on Pornhub.
“The Sun recently made headlines with the headline ‘Harry’s Girl on Pornhub.’ The article contained pictures of Meg from ‘Suits’ that a pervert had posted on a porn site.”
Meghan Markle eventually left Suits, saying goodbye to the character Rachel Zane at the end of the seventh season, which aired in 2018, and marrying Harry.
