Meghan Markle, the former actress turned Duchess, finds herself at the center of a script controversy surrounding her time on the popular TV show, Soot.
Contrary to popular belief, it was not the royal family but Meghan herself who requested changes to the script, according to the show’s creator, Aaron Korsh.
Palace officials, however, had reportedly started vetting the scripts during the early days of Meghan’s relationship with Prince Harry.
The specific word that sparked the debate was “poppycock,” which palace officials wanted to avoid Meghan saying on the show.
There were concerns that if the clip went viral, it might be misinterpreted as Meghan uttering a more offensive word.
Korsh revealed that the royal family was adamant about not having Meghan say certain words on screen.
Nonetheless, royal aides have refuted this claim, suggesting it was Meghan’s agent who pushed for the change.
Despite rumors suggesting otherwise, it seems that Meghan’s past performances, including intimate scenes and controversial moments from her acting career, did not deter the royal family from supporting her.
In fact, Prince Harry himself mentioned that the family even offered her the opportunity to continue acting.
This contradicts the narrative that the royal family closely monitored Meghan’s every move on set.
As Meghan’s relationship with Prince Harry blossomed, her character on Soot, Rachel Zane, saw her exit from the show after the seventh season.
The couple’s engagement in 2017 marked a significant turning point in Meghan’s career, leading to her departure from the series.
Observers noted a change in Meghan’s demeanor on set following her romance with Prince Harry, with some describing her behavior as becoming more rigid and demanding.
According to Tom Bower’s book, “Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the War Between the Windsors,” accounts from the cast and crew of Soot painted a picture of Meghan’s transformation after she began dating Prince Harry.
Reports surfaced of Meghan displaying diva-like behavior, arriving late on set, and causing delays during filming due to her perfectionist tendencies.
Her transition from a humble and empathetic colleague to a more assertive figure raised eyebrows among those who worked closely with her.
A videographer who worked with Meghan on set recalled her demeanor as that of a diva, noting her demanding attitude and interactions with others.
Reports of her needing reassurance about her appearance and outfit choices further added to the narrative of a starlet transitioning into a more self-assured persona.
Despite the controversies surrounding her time on Soot, Meghan’s journey from actress to royalty continues to captivate audiences worldwide.
