Meghan Markle was prohibited from saying certain words in Suits after the Royal Family requested their removal from the script.

When Markle began portraying Rachel Zane in the popular U.S. legal drama, she hadn’t even met Prince Harry yet. However, by the time she left the show in 2018, she was engaged to the royal and about to become the Duchess of Sussex.

The couple first met in July 2016 and publicly announced their engagement in November 2017, shortly after the seventh season of Suits wrapped up. The show ended in 2019 but gained a viewership boost after being added to Netflix, with the creator acknowledging the potential influence of the “Meghan Markle effect.”

Aaron Korsh, the creator, was just as thrilled as everyone else when he learned that Markle was dating a royal. “I mean, your initial reaction is, like, ‘We’re dating a prince!’” Korsh told The Hollywood Reporter.

“But the security and all that stuff, we shot in Toronto and the writers room was in L.A., so other people were dealing with that. I will say, and I think Harry put this in the book [Spare], because I heard people talking about it — [the Royal Family] weighed in on some stuff.”
