So, Kim Kardashian finally spilled the beans on why a photo of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle at Kris Jenner’s legendary 70th birthday bash vanished from the social media stratosphere. You know, the one hosted at Jeff Bezos’ Beverly Hills crib — a star-studded James Bond-themed gala that read like a who’s who of modern celebs: Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Adele… the list goes on. But here’s the kicker—why would the Sussexes, who were all smiles that night, suddenly pull the plug on their own snapshot? Was it a drama bomb waiting to explode or just a case of celestial timing? If Mercury was in retrograde, maybe the universe was nudging them to reconsider flashing around on a night when solemn Remembrance Day was casting its shadow. Guess even royals and reality TV queens have to respect the cosmic order sometimes! Turns out, it was a wholesome oopsie, not the scandal roulette everyone was spinning. Curious to get the full scoop? LEARN MORE.
Kim Kardashian has explained why a photograph of the Sussexes at Kris Jenner’s birthday party was removed from social media.
Momager of the Kardashian-Jenner clan, Kris Jenner, celebrated her 70th birthday last November. And as to be expected, she threw a huge bash, which was held at Jeff Bezos’ Beverly Hills mansion in Los Angeles.
The theme? James Bond. And the guest list, as you can imagine, was stacked with celebrities. Alongside Bezos and Lauren Sanchez – after all, it would be a bit rude not to invite them if throwing a part at their literal house – guests included Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Mariah Carey, Adele, Paris Hilton and the list really goes on.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle also attended, however, when pictures from the event were shared far and wide online, one featuring the Sussexes was seemingly backtracked on and erased.

Obviously, when eagle-eyed social media users realized the picture had disappeared, the rumor mill began to swirl.
But during an appearance on her sister, Khloé’s, podcast In Wonder Land, released on January 28, Kim Kardashian weighed in on the reason why.
Prior to the bash, guests were reportedly asked for their consent over appearing in photographs alongside the snaps being shared online.
During the podcast, Kim explained the Sussexes had given their consent, however, ‘after it was posted’, they apparently ran into an issue and asked to have the images removed.
At the time, one X user wrote: “You’ve hit a new low when a Kardashian doesn’t want to be associated with you.”
A second added: “Harry and Meghan probably crashed the party.”
A third commented: “Probably because of all the hateful comments dropped by middle aged white British women.”
However, unlike social media users’ theories, Kim explained on the podcast the request to remove the photos was because the Sussexes ‘realized it was Remembrance Day’.

Kim claimed: “They didn’t want to be seen at a party, even though it’s already up, you know, and then taken down.
“And then I think they realized, like, ‘Oh, this was so silly’.”
Silly particularly when you look back at the wild theories people suggested online.
Kim stressed on the podcast: “It was really innocent, which is so crazy. Mom and Meghan have been friends for some years now, and they have a really sweet relationship.”
The Sussexes had been photographed attending a charity gala with poppies on their outfits earlier that same evening, but Kim reflected that wasn’t ‘partying and dancing on the dance floor or whatever’.
And ultimately, the Sussexes’ alleged request to take the image down was all good with the Kardashian-Jenner’s who similarly wanted to ‘respect Remembrance Day’.
A much less dramatic story than social media users made it out to be – who’d have thought?
UNILAD has contacted representatives of the Sussexes for comment.
