Meghan found herself embroiled in a curious agreement with Rick Hoffman, her former co-star from "Suits," regarding their purported encounter with a foul odor emanating from the Queen's Chapel.
Despite other attendees denying any olfactory offense, Hoffman alleged that an unsavory scent pervaded the air during Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding in 2018. The actor's infamous grimace, captured in viral photos, became the subject of speculation until Hoffman recently disclosed the source of his discomfort on the "Chicks in the Office" podcast.
In his revelation, Hoffman humorously recounted his growing unease as he detected a noxious odor shortly after settling in at the ceremony. Initially attributing it to someone's breath, he soon realized it was a collective phenomenon. His sensitivity to such matters compounded his discomfort, leading him to feel isolated in his olfactory distress. Concerned that others might misconstrue the smell's source, he sought validation from his "Suits" colleagues, only to find himself alone in his sensory dilemma.
Interestingly, Hoffman's anecdote intertwines with Meghan's reputed aversion to unpleasant scents, as detailed in the book "Finding Freedom." Allegedly, Meghan had expressed a desire for fragrant atomizers to be deployed in the chapel before the wedding, prompting a gentle rebuff from royal staff. Instead, discreet scent diffusers were discreetly arranged, aimed at mitigating any mustiness in St. George's Chapel. However, the narrative takes a twist as suspicions arise regarding Hoffman's motives.
Some speculate that Hoffman's narrative may have been influenced by ulterior motives, possibly financial incentives from the Markle-Harry camp. This theory gains traction considering the denied request for air fresheners and the subsequent revelation of a perceived odor by Hoffman. Lady C's recent comments about the scent at the Montecito Mansion further fuel speculation about Meghan's sensitivity to smells, contrasting with rumors about Harry's personal hygiene.
Nevertheless, amidst the speculation, it's essential to acknowledge the historical context of the Queen's Chapel, which boasts over five centuries of existence. Such venerable structures often carry a distinct ambiance, appreciated by those familiar with old cathedrals and churches. Whether the narrative surrounding the chapel's scent is true or not, it adds another layer to the ongoing saga of Meghan and Harry's royal journey, where even the air they breathe becomes a topic of intrigue.
