Kim Kardashian And Kris Jenner Scrub Meghan Markle & Harry From Party Posts In Strange Move
It seemed like everyone and their mother attended Kris Jenner's 70th birthday bash on November 8 — and many of them were not dressed to impress. Included on the guest list were Harry, Duke of Sussex, and Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex. However, Kim Kardashian and her mom seemed to want to rewrite history by not-so-stealthily removing photos from the party that featured the Sussexes.
A user on Reddit posted in the subreddit "Royals Gossip" that the mother and daughter duo deleted several snapshots that featured Harry and Meghan. There were paparazzi photos taken of the royals at the event, and those can't be simply deleted from the internet, so the move is quite bizarre. "Why?" one person asked. "They're obviously happily posing for them." Another wrote: "Bit late for that. It's all over the internet." A third person made a great point that purposely removing all imagery featuring the Sussexes only ends up drawing more attention to their presence.
Since it was reportedly multiple photos that got axed, the move doesn't seem like an accident. The Kardashians are known for carefully curating their social media, so if they went out of their way to remove any pics that included Harry and Meghan, there had to be a specific motive behind it.
The reason could have to do with Harry's wardrobe
Netizens on Reddit had theories about the deletions, which included speculation that both "the Mar-a-Lago crowd" and the royal family complained to the Kardashians. Another user thought Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner wanted to distance themselves from Harry, Duke of Sussex, and Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, since they're all supposedly in cahoots involving "the Epstein mess."
A third possible motive for the erasure could be the fact Prince Harry wore a poppy pin to the birthday party, which disgusted royalists. It's been made painfully obvious that Harry regrets leaving the royal family, and he is clearly trying to get back into their good graces. He chose to wear a red poppy pin, which is something the royal family tends to wear in November for Remembrance Day. This is like the U.K. version of Memorial Day. Because Harry isn't part of The Firm anymore, wearing that came across as performative to some, perhaps giving "pick me" energy, since the red really stood out against his black tuxedo.
Why the Kardashians would want to distance themselves from Harry and Meghan over a royal family squabble is anyone's guess, but it's as good a theory as any. In that case, though, why were they even invited in the first place?
