Will the BBC spare Meghan’s blushes with tomorrow’s transmission of her legal drama Suits? Judicious editing would remove the steamy scenes of Rachel, the duchess’s character, smooching.
It certainly rankled with Harry, who wrote in his memoir: ‘I’d witnessed her and a castmate mauling each other. I didn’t need to see such things.’
Meghan did, however, manage to keep (some) of her clothes on, saying: ‘This season every script seemed to begin with Rachel wearing a towel and I said, “I’m not doing it any more”.’
If the BBC desist with the censorial scissors, viewers will perceive that Meghan didn’t entirely get her own way.

Today William visits Nansledan in the Duchy of Cornwall, site of his father’s model town and where the Prince is building 24 homes for the homeless.
In 2015, when the first residents moved in, they were given a book of 85 rules including a ban on raised voices, flying flags, plastic blinds, rotary washing lines and solar panels. Fingers crossed William will be a ‘lighter-touch’ landlord than Dad.
Michael Cole, former BBC Royal Correspondent, recalls one of his last meetings with Princess Diana after her return from a minefield in Angola, Africa, when she mocked Michael’s successor Jennie Bond.
‘She doubled over with laughter about Jennie. “White stilettos! In a minefield!” she said, then mimed Bond picking her way through the red dirt gingerly.
“That woman!” she finally exclaimed, collapsing on to a sofa still laughing.’ Jennie speaks very highly of you, Michael.

Andrew Neil, distinctly underwhelmed with fellow Brit Anna Wintour’s chums celebrating in New York, declares: ‘Having seen the parade of puffed-up poltroons at last night’s Met Gala, I’m beginning to think it a pity these pro-Palestinian demonstrators didn’t manage to… cause a bit of chaos among the strutting toplofty punchinellos. Would have been amusing watching these solipsistic scarecrows in their absurd “regardez-moi!” outfits trying to cope with a dose of reality.’
Marking the 30th anniversary of Four Weddings And A Funeral, director Mike Newell described it as jewel on a golden chain hung around his neck.
‘But there have been times when I’ve thought, “Have I got a dead, stinking bird around my neck?”
If it is a putrid fowl, Mike, it’s a lucrative one costing just £3million to make and grossing £196million!

Beatles biographer Philip Norman recalls having breakfast with Yoko Ono in Paris: ‘I thought, “She’s so nice and so normal”.
All these stories about how weird Yoko is… until I said, ‘Can I pass you the honey?’ and she said, “No, I don’t have honey. It’s not fair to the bees”.’
