Series creator Aaron Korsh told The Hollywood Reporter. He says he was “a little irritated” when he got involved in conversations related to the character played by “Buckingham Palace” Meghan Markle.

Meghan Markle continued until her wedding, but the British royal family was keen to engage in script changes ahead of the actress’ eventual exit.

So a word is banned from the lawyer’s language: “pappycock”, which means nonsense, but which, in English, was coined as a slang word to denote the male gender. Aaron Korsh hoped to use it as a nod to his in-laws, who loved the term when discussing sensitive topics.
“The royal family didn’t want her to say that word,” he recalls. She didn’t want to put the word poppycock in his mouth. I guess they don’t want people tearing things apart to call him “c**k”. So we had to change it to “Bulls**t” (Bullshit) and I didn’t like it because I told my in-laws that “Poppycock” was going to be on the show. There might be one or two more things, but I don’t remember them. »
