Royal fans divided after Palace stopped Meghan Markle from saying British word in Suits
Meghan Markle was stopped from saying a particular British word as she filmed her final series of Suits, according to an unearthed video - and fans are divided.
The Royal Family is believed to have stopped Meghan Markle from saying a particular British word while filming Suits, leaving fans divided.
In a recently unearthed interview with one of the show's creators, Aaron Korsch, the producer and writer claimed the Duchess of Sussex was prevented from saying the word 'poppycock' during the final series of the legal drama, where she played Rachel Zane.
The instruction is said to have come before Meghan tied the knot with now-husband Prince Harry in 2018, with the show's final episode airing weeks before the big day.
Korsch said the line had been included as an homage to his in-laws. He said: "My wife’s family, when they have a topic to discuss that might be sensitive, they use the word 'poppycock.'
"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."
Korsch said he thought the Palace feared the clip could be manipulated to make it sound as though Meghan had said something much more crude. "They didn’t want to put the word 'poppycock' in her mouth," he said. "I presume because they didn't want people cutting things together of her saying 'c**k.' So, we had to change it to 'bulls***.'"
The claim, which has recently resurfaced on TikTok, left royal fans divided. One wrote: "I think .. smart of the Royal family. The video would definitely be edited in some crazy ways."

Another agreed, writing: "The royals arent some celebrity family, they’re the living embodiment of the British state. It’s only right they consider this stuff."
But others were not so convinced. One person chimed in: "She has a sex scene in the suits so i think words like that, does it matter? no."
"I can see that, but at the same time it’s the 21st century and it’s just a word," said another.
Harry also spoke out about the script change-up in his memoir, Spare. He wrote: "Meg packed up her house, gave up her role in Suits. After seven seasons. A difficult moment for her, because she loved that show, loved the character she was playing, loved her cast and crew – loved Canada.
"On the other hand life there had become untenable," he added.
