If the BBC desist with the censorial scissors, viewers will perceive that Meghan didn't entirely get her own way.

Do you mind if I smoke?' Agnès, France's most influential French fashion designer, b. She darts across her massive, whitewashed Parisian attic studio, packed with arty books and adorned with hip film posters, to discover her Philip Morris Blue and lights up. Of course, I don't bother: Agnès, 81, might not have been more French if she were wearing a beret and yelling La Marseillaise. And smuggling is what French women (and others) do, as well as enjoying red wine, guzzling Camembert, and juggling enthusiasts. But don't her five children tell her off about this naughty habit? Agnès grins as Agnès grins as if to say, 'Yes, they do.' Agnès shrugges in a tense shrug. They say that smoking is stupid.' "I smoke less than before," I say. Her blue eyes twinkle.
