Unusual Royal Intervention Allegedly Altered Dialogue in Suits, TV Series Creator Claims

The creator of the TV series Suits, Aaron Korsh, recently made a surprising revelation about an alleged interference by the Royal Family in the show. Korsh stated in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter that the phrase "poppycock" was removed from a script at the behest of palace officials. The creator had intended to include the term as a playful nod to Meghan Markle's British heritage within her character's dialogue. According to Korsh, the decision to alter the script was guided by concerns that the phrase could be edited in a malicious manner. The Royal Family reportedly expressed their disapproval of Meghan's character uttering the word, leading the show's team to change it to "bulls***" instead. Korsh mentioned that he conveyed his plans to use "poppycock" to his in-laws in advance, making the alteration an unexpected turn of events. While Korsh could not recall who specifically instructed him to revise the dialogue, he noted that it likely came from a producer or agent rather than directly from Meghan herself. He expressed understanding for the cautionary approach, highlighting the need to protect Meghan from potential manipulation. In addition to this revelation, Korsh acknowledged the significant boost that the show's popularity received from Meghan's relationship with Prince Harry. He humorously recounted his initial reaction upon learning about the romance, exclaiming, "We're dating a prince!" Korsh and several cast members of Suits were among the guests at the couple's wedding in 2018. The interview provided a glimpse into the intricacies of television production and the unexpected connections between the Royal Family and popular culture.
