Amidst the grandeur of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's 2018 wedding, a curious incident involving a 'foul' smell has resurfaced, courtesy of Meghan's former Suits co-star.
Rick Hoffman, renowned for his portrayal of Louis Marlowe Litt in the USA legal drama, became an unwitting internet sensation when images capturing his apparent discomfort during the royal ceremony went viral.
In a recent revelation on the Chicks in the Office podcast, the 53-year-old actor shed light on the reason behind his infamous expression, attributing it to an unpleasant odor permeating the air.
Rick humorously remarked, "If you type in my name on Google, you see [me] making that awful face."
Detailing his experience, Rick recounted how shortly after taking his seat, he detected a noxious scent, initially mistaking it for someone's breath. However, he soon realized that the malodorous emanations were more widespread.
"As someone who's particular about hygiene, I was concerned people might think it was me," Rick explained, reflecting on his sensitivity to such matters.
During the hour-and-a-half ceremony, the persistent odor became increasingly intrusive, causing discomfort and drawing attention.
Rick candidly shared how Meghan, familiar with his idiosyncrasies regarding hygiene, would often jest about his sensitivity to such issues. The irony of her amusement amidst the olfactory ordeal wasn't lost on him.
Interestingly, Rick's experience wasn't isolated, as royal biographers Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand noted in their book, Finding Freedom, that scent diffusers were deployed to mitigate the 'musty' ambiance within St. George's Chapel prior to the Sussexes' nuptials.
Rick Hoffman's revelation adds a quirky dimension to the intricacies of the royal wedding, highlighting the human experiences that unfold even amidst regal splendor.
