Royal Flush: Harry and Meghan Vanish from Kris Jenner’s Birthday Bash Posts
Los Angeles, CA – What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, but what happens at Kris Jenner’s birthday party apparently doesn’t always stay on Instagram. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, found themselves at the center of a social media scrub this week after their images mysteriously disappeared from posts celebrating the Kardashian matriarch’s 70th birthday.
The royal couple, who attended Jenner’s lavish James Bond-themed soirée in Beverly Hills on Saturday, alongside a star-studded guest list including Beyoncé, Bill Gates, and Oprah Winfrey, reportedly requested the removal of their photos from both Kris Jenner’s and Kim Kardashian’s social media accounts.
Sources close to the couple indicate that the move was a strategic effort to avoid further ruffling feathers with the British monarchy. “They don’t want to piss off the royal family while they are trying to reconcile,” an insider revealed.
This sentiment echoes alleged reactions from palace insiders, who reportedly found the couple’s attendance at the ostentatious celebrity gathering “so tacky.” One source reportedly stated, “It truly shows that Harry is so far removed from the rest of the family.
These people may be stars in America, but the pure ostentatiousness is at odds with what Prince William is trying to do with his life and the monarchy.”
While initial reports suggested the photo removal was due to a lack of photo consent, a source told People magazine that “there were no consent forms.” Instead, it appears the decision stemmed from the Sussexes’ desire to maintain a more subdued public image in relation to their friendships, particularly as they navigate ongoing dynamics with the royal family.
Before hitting Jenner’s blowout, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were seen hand-in-hand at the Baby2Baby Gala, supporting family friend Serena Williams. Meghan, described as “glowing” in a black wrap-style dress, and Harry, looking “sharp” in a tuxedo, appeared happy and glamorous as they began their busy Los Angeles evening.
The celebrity-packed birthday bash, hosted at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s Beverly Hills mansion, saw guests like Paris Hilton also making the rounds from the Baby2Baby Gala. However, it’s the disappearing acts of Harry and Meghan from the digital keepsakes of the event that has truly captured attention, highlighting the delicate balance the couple continues to strike between their Hollywood lives and their royal ties.
Representatives for both the Kardashians and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have not yet responded to requests for comment regarding the photo removals.
