The sudden erasure of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s photos from Kris Jenner and Kim Kardashian’s Instagram accounts has reportedly left the Kardashian clan just as baffled as everyone else.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex attended Jenner’s star-studded 70th birthday bash — held Saturday, November 8, at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s multimillion-dollar estate — but days later, their appearance became the talk of Hollywood when photos of the couple posing with Jenner and Kardashian were mysteriously deleted from both stars’ Instagram accounts within hours of being posted.
Now, insiders say the move has left members of the famous family “upset,” and at least one relative “pissed off.” One source claimed to the Daily Mail the Kardashians are “baffled,” especially since Harry, 41, and Meghan, 44, had no issue being photographed earlier that same evening at the Baby2Baby Gala in Los Angeles. A full-length photo of the Suits alum with her close friend Serena Williams has circulated widely online.

A second source told the outlet that the former senior royals are believed to have ticked “no” on a photo consent form before attending Jenner’s lavish celebration, prompting their representative to contact Jenner and Kardashian’s teams the next day to request that the photos be taken down.
A source, based in California, told the outlet that Kardashian, 45, is “pissed off” and starting to question if the Sussexes are embarrassed to be associated with the Kardashians.
“Kim was like, ‘you’ve already been papped outside and you were at the Baby2Baby event the same night being photographed like Meghan Trainor and Paris Hilton so what’s the problem?” the second source claimed.

The scrubbed photos had shown Harry and Meghan looking friendly with the birthday girl. In one now-deleted photo, the Kardashian-Jenner matriarch was sandwiched between the Sussexes, with Harry smiling wide and Meghan’s hand on Jenner’s shoulder. Another picture captured Kim and Meghan smiling side by side.
Despite the controversy, Jenner called it “one of the very best nights of my entire life” on Instagram. “I am beyond blessed and so very grateful for my precious family and friends!” she added.
The guest list for Jenner’s milestone bash was as star-studded as expected, featuring Adele, Paris Hilton, Naomi Watts, Snoop Dogg, Gayle King, Niecy Nash, Sarah Paulson, Bruno Mars, and more.
