Meghan Markle's former co-star recalls 'foul' smell at wedding to Prince Harry
One of Meghan Markle's former co-stars has revealed there was a "foul" smell when the Duchess of Sussex married Prince Harry nearly six years ago.
Rick Hoffman, 53, has now come clean about his viral expression after he was caught on camera with what he described as an "awful face". The American actor, who worked alongside Meghan as he played Louis Litt on Suits, said he could smell "something really terrible and foul" so he covered his face at the royal wedding at Windsor Castle back in May 2018.
He made the comments while appearing on an episode of the "Chicks in the Office" podcast on Wednesday and explained the reason why his face seemed "goofy". His expression went viral online shortly after the ceremony.

Because I have a coconut vanilla moisturizer, and I like to try to cut it. How can I help getting away from this goofy face?"

Before detecting the "foul" smell, Mr Hoffman was sitting next to another Suits actor, Sarah Rafferty, who plays Donna in the series. He said he likes to "mess around" with her and was doing "something ridiculous" before she told him to "cut it out".
He added that after sending the foul odour, he returned to his Suits castmates and asked them if they could smell it too - but they could not. He said: "I don't want them to think it's me because I'm so particular when it comes to hygiene. So I'm like, 'Do you guys smell that?' And they're like, 'No.' So now I'm, like, literally by myself and I'm just going, 'Mother...' And that's what they got [on camera]."
He then said Meghan knew he was "so sensitive" to hygiene as he added: "Guess who knew that the most in the cast that I had an issue with other people's hygiene? Meghan! Always knew and would always laugh about how I was so sensitive."

Gina Torres, Rick Hoffman, and Sarah Rafferty were seen in the advert for e.lf. Cosmetics but Meghan did not make an appearance. The ad was directed by Zach Woods and saw the Suits legal team appear in Judge Judy's courtroom.
Rick spoke about meeting the 81-year-old icon as he admitted feeling a little starstruck. He said: "I made a fool of myself. I literally became starstruck just because for years, I grew up watching her. And then ultimately, I was like, 'I have to ask her to make a video for my mum'."

Aaron Korsh, who created the hit legal drama, has scripted a brand new show about employees at a Hollywood law firm. One character, Erica, seemed to have been created just for Meghan, but it seems the Duchess of Sussex isn not ready to make her big acting return just yet.
Sources have claimed Meghan shut down the idea of acting in the project, but she did suggest being involved behind-the-scenes with her production company Archewell. However, it is thought her idea was rejected by NBC. "Meghan was clear that she didn’t want to be involved as an actor. But Archewell was trying to wiggle its way in as a production company on the spin-off. NBC have killed that idea," a source told the Daily Mail. However, other sources told the publication that Archewell would never have been involved in a reboot.
