Meghan Markle’s Suits costar Rick Hoffman claims there was a ‘foul SMELL’ in the air during her wedding to Prince Harry – as he blames ‘terrible’ odor for THAT viral photo of him scrunching up his face at ceremony

Meghan Markle’s former Suits costar has revealed that there was a ‘really terrible and foul’ smell during her wedding to Prince Harry.

Rick Hoffman, who starred as Louis Marlowe Litt in the USA legal drama, went viral back in 2018 – after pictures of him with a disgusted look on his face during Megan and Harry’s ceremony took over the web.

Now, the actor, 53, has opened up about what caused him to look so uncomfortable, and he said it was due to a horrific scent in the air.


During a recent appearance on the Chicks in the Office podcast, Rick joked, ‘If you type in my name in on Google you see [me] making that awful face.’

While discussing his expression, he explained that soon after he sat down he ‘started to smell something really terrible and foul.’

While at first he thought that somebody near him ‘had terrible breath,’ he eventually realized it was coming from ‘more than one person.’

‘I’m starting to get a little jittery because it’s bothering me and I’m very sensitive when it comes to that,’ he recalled.


‘[The ceremony] is an hour-and-a-half, and [the smell] is just constantly coming my way now. It’s getting into my body.’

Since he’s ‘so particular when it comes to hygiene,’ Rick said he was worried people would think it was coming from him, so he asked his fellow Suits stars, ‘Do you guys smell that?’

‘And they’re like, “No.” So now I’m like literally by myself alone on an island and I’m just going, “Mother f**ker,”‘ he continued. ‘And that’s [the expression] they got [on camera that went viral].’

Rick added that out of everyone in the show, Meghan was the one who would laugh at him the most for his ‘issues’ when it came to ‘other people’s hygiene.’ 


‘She always knew and would always laugh about how I was so sensitive. It was just so ironic,’ he concluded.

Interestingly, Rick was not the only person at the wedding to have experienced issues with the smell inside St. George’s Chapel – at least according to royal biographers Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand, who claimed in their book, Finding Freedom, that scent diffusers were used to mask the ‘musty’ smell inside the venue before the Sussexes’ big day.

After the nuptials in May 2018, royal sources had claimed that the odor of the 15th century chapel did not find favor with the soon-to-be Duchess of Sussex, and said she had insisted on masking it with air fresheners before her wedding guests arrived. 

It had been suggested initially that the Palace had declined her request to have Diptyque Baies diffusers used in the chapel – but Scobie and Durand wrote in their book that the products were in fact approved by the Palace before the ceremony took place. 

But clearly, the use of the high-end diffusers did not help to quell Rick’s olfactory issues.  


Rick starred alongside the Duchess of Sussex from 2011 until she exited the series in 2017, following her engagement to Prince Harry. He continued on as Louis for two more seasons after her departure.

Last summer, the legal drama unexpectedly became the most streamed show in the US for 12 weeks straight after it was added to Netflix.

News hit the web last month that Suits was getting a brand new spin-off series, entitled Suits: LA.


Set in the same world as the original show but with all new characters, the series will follow a former federal prosecutor from New York named Ted Black – played by Stephen Amell – who has reinvented himself by representing the most powerful clients in Los Angeles.

A synopsis reads: ‘His firm is at a crisis point, and in order to survive he must embrace a role he held in contempt his entire career.

‘Ted is surrounded by a stellar group of characters who test their loyalties to both Ted and each other while they can’t help but mix their personal and professional lives.

‘All of this is going on while events from years ago slowly unravel that led Ted to leave behind everything and everyone he loved.’


Original Suits creator Aaron Korsh has returned to develop the new series, serving as writer and executive producer alongside David Bartis and Dog Liman for Hypnotic, and Gene Klein. Production is slated to start in Vancouver in late March, per Variety.

'And they're like, "No." So now I'm like literally by myself alone on an island,' he continued. 'And that's [the expression] they got [on camera that went viral]'

An insider told DailyMail.com earlier this month that Meghan will not be appearing in the new show, but that she did try and get her company Archewell involved in the production.

‘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,’ they claimed. ‘NBC have killed that idea.’ 

Separate sources close to Archewell denied this vigorously however, and said that the company would never have been involved in a reboot. 

Many members of the original cast have reunited in recent months – but Meghan was noticeably absent from all of the get-togethers.


Patrick J. Adams, Gina Torres, Sarah Rafferty, and Gabriel Macht were all spotted together on the red carpet of the Golden Globes in January.

During the awards show, Gina made a shocking admission about her relationship with the Duchess during the event.

She admitted: ‘We don’t have her number. We just don’t,’ adding that the rest of the cast kept in touch via a WhatsApp group.

In addition, Gina, Sarah, and Rick came together for an E.l.f. Super Bowl commercial.

While chatting with People about it, Rick said working with his former costars again was ‘peak happiness,’ while Sarah described it like ‘coming home.’


They added that Patrick couldn’t appear in the commercial because he was busy ‘shooting a film in South Africa,’ but they did not mention Meghan.

Patrick and Gabriel also told The Hollywood Reporter that they’ve had ‘zero communication’ with their former co-star Meghan. 

Meghan reacted to her show’s resurgence at the end of last year, telling Variety that she had ‘no idea’ what prompted it but added, ‘Good shows are everlasting.’

‘It’s hard to find a show you can binge-watch that many episodes of these days,’ she said at the time. ‘So that could have something to do with it.’
