In a shocking twist, an unearthed interview with TV producer Aaron Korsch has sent ripples through the royal fandom. Korsch, the creator of the hit legal drama Suits, spilled the beans on a secret the Palace allegedly wanted buried: Meghan Markle, then starring as Rachel Zane, was forbidden from uttering the word “poppycock” on camera.
The Royal Family’s Unusual Request
The quintessentially British term, meaning nonsense or rubbish, was innocently woven into the show’s script as a nod to Korsch’s own in-laws. However, Buckingham Palace had other ideas. Concerns arose about the second half of the word, leading to an unexpected censorship battle. Korsch revealed, “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 ‘c**k.’”
From “Poppycock” to “Bulls***”
To appease the royal sensibilities, the line was altered. Instead of “poppycock,” Rachel Zane delivered a more colorful expletive: “bulls***.” Korsch, who had promised his in-laws that the original word would feature, admitted his displeasure. But the Palace’s concern was clear: avoid any unfortunate splicing potential in the final footage.
Meghan’s Royal Journey
Markle’s journey from paralegal to Duchess of Sussex was marked by more than just legal drama. As she started dating Prince Harry in 2016, the Palace reportedly began scrutinizing her scenes. The Duke of Sussex himself acknowledged this interference in his memoir, Spare. The show’s writers grappled with palace advisories, tweaking lines and character actions to align with the royal image.
Fans are Divided
The claim has sparked heated debates among royal fans. Opinions diverge sharply: some applaud the Royal Family’s cautious approach, recognizing the potential for creative video editing, while others argue that as a former Suits star, Meghan’s past scenes render word censorship irrelevant.
One wrote: “I think .. smart of the Royal family. The video would definitely be edited in some crazy ways.”
One person chimed in: “She has a sex scene in the suits so i think words like that, does it matter? no.”
The clash of perspectives continues to fuel online discussions.
Beyond “Suits”
Rachel Zane bid farewell to the legal world in 2018, as Markle retired from acting to focus on humanitarian work and her royal duties. Since stepping back from her official role, she’s made appearances in a Netflix documentary and launched a podcast series.
