Gutted Harry 'needed therapy' after watching Meghan Markle's sexy TV scene

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle fast got to know each other after their memorable first date and whirlwind romance. After being set up by a friend, the couple then set about finding out what they could about each other - and for Harry, it meant catching up on Meghan's acting career. When they met in 2016, the now Duchess of Sussex had a major role playing paralegal Rachel Zane in the hit TV show Suits.

So naturally, Harry wanted to see her in action and even pondered a visit to the Suits set while visiting his then-girlfriend on a trip to Toronto, where the show was filmed. But after watching some very specific scenes in the show online, he ditched the idea and admitted watching the clips was a mistake.

Writing in his memoir Spare, Harry confessed: "I'd made the mistake of googling and watching some of her love scenes online. I'd witnessed her and a castmate mauling each other in some sort of office or conference room... It would take electric shock therapy to get those images out of my head. I didn't need to see such things live."

Meghan's character Rachel's love interest in the show was Mike Ross, played by Patrick J. Adams. In the season finale of the second series of Suits, Rachel gives into her feelings for Mike and the pair end up in a steamy tryst in a filing room. Meghan previously opened up about filming the sex scenes with Patrick in 2017. The two revealed one of the strangest moments on the show for her was the scene where her character Rachel finally gives in to her attraction to Mike.

Quizzed about what she thought was her stand-out awkward scene in the show, Meghan revealed it was the now famous filing room fling that stood out in her mind. Answering the question first, Patrick said: "Sex in the file room was weird. Yeah, that was a little strange." To which Meghan said: "Of course it was weird!"

Meanwhile, last month, Aaron Korsch, the Suits creator, revealed details from the set of the series including how the Royal Family refused to allow Meghan to say the word "poppycock" on set which he found "irritating." The creator recalled Harry had also written about the word being banned in his memoir 'Spare' released in January of this year.

Aaron said that the choice to add in the word had a special tie to his family that he was excited to see on the screen. He told the Hollywood Reporter: "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."

He explained that he understood the reasoning behind not wanting the actress to say the word on the show, but was disappointed by the decision. Aaron added: "They didn't want to put the word 'poppycock' in her mouth. I presume because they didn't want people cutting things together of her saying 'c**k'. So, we had to change it to 'bulls***' instead of 'poppycock', and I did not like it because I’d told my in-laws that [poppycock] was going to be in the show."

The Suits creator said throughout filming there were probably one or two more instances where the Royal Family weighed in on what Meghan's character could say or do, but he could not recall. He did, however, make clear that it was not the Duchess of Sussex who made the request to change the word.
