The controversy surrounding the missing photos from Kris Jenner’s lavish 70th birthday celebration continues to escalate — and it appears the Kardashian-Jenner clan is far from pleased about the situation.

According to the Daily Mail (source: Daily Mail), Kim Kardashian is reportedly “pissed off” after Meghan Markle and Prince Harry allegedly requested that several photos from the star-studded party be taken down from Instagram.

“Kim was like, ‘You’ve already been photographed outside the party, and you were at the Baby2Baby event the same night being photographed with people like Meghan Trainor and Paris Hilton — so what’s the problem?’” a source told the outlet. The insider added that the request came as a surprise given how publicly visible the couple had already been that weekend.

Tension Behind the Scenes

Just hours before arriving at Kris Jenner’s James Bond–themed bash in Beverly Hills, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex attended the Baby2Baby gala in West Hollywood to support close friend Serena Williams (source: Page Six). Their appearance at both events generated significant media attention, making the request to remove party photos all the more puzzling to attendees.

Page Six reported that a representative for the Sussexes reached out directly to Kardashian and Jenner, asking them to remove certain images featuring the couple from Instagram (source: Page Six).

However, People magazine stated that Meghan, 44, and Harry, 41, had checked “no” on a photo consent form at the event — though a source disputed this to The Post, insisting that no such form was ever distributed (source: People; The Post).

Possible Remembrance Day Sensitivity

Insiders claim Markle and Harry wanted the photos deleted out of respect for Remembrance Day in the UK, a solemn holiday honoring military personnel who lost their lives in service (source: Page Six). Harry, a veteran, wore a traditional poppy at Jenner’s party to mark the occasion. Meanwhile, senior royal family members gathered in London the following day for official commemorations.

“They don’t want to piss off the royal family while they’re trying to reconcile,” a source told Page Six. “They need the family. Meghan is aware of that.”

Hollywood Fallout — And a Growing List of Enemies?

The Daily Mail quoted another source who claimed, “Meghan’s made another Hollywood enemy. And unlike royals, Kardashians don’t forgive easily.” According to insiders, the couple is at risk of losing support from Hollywood elites at a moment when they “need it now more than ever.”

This tension comes as Harry and Meghan continue to navigate their post-royal life in the United States, where they’ve sought to carefully control their public narrative — including through Netflix projects such as Harry & Meghan (2022) and Meghan’s upcoming project With Love, Meghan (sources: Netflix; Vanity Fair).

A Night Full of A-Listers — and Drama

Despite the conflict, Kris Jenner’s party was undeniably one of Hollywood’s biggest gatherings of the year. Hosted at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s $175 million mansion, the event drew a staggering roster of celebrities, including Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Oprah Winfrey, Mariah Carey, Snoop Dogg, Tyler Perry, and Justin Bieber (source: The Post; Vanity Fair).

Royal sources, however, were reportedly stunned by Harry and Meghan’s appearance at such an extravagant soirée. “It’s so tacky,” a palace insider told Page Six. “It shows how far removed Harry is from the rest of the family. The ostentatiousness is totally at odds with what Prince William is trying to do with his life and the monarchy.”

The Ongoing Privacy Paradox

Since stepping down as senior royals in 2020 and relocating to California, Harry and Meghan have repeatedly emphasized their desire for privacy — but strictly on their own terms. They remain highly selective about what Meghan shares on social media and what footage is included in their television projects, something critics and commentators have frequently pointed out (source: BBC; The Guardian).

This latest photo dispute, observers say, underscores the delicate balance the couple continues to navigate between their celebrity status, their royal ties, and their evolving public image.
