Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been wiped from Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner's recent social media posts. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex joined the many stars at Kris' extravagant 70th birthday bash over the weekend. Shortly after, Kris and Kim both posted photos of the royal couple at the party to their social media. However, just days later, the photos have completely vanished. Kris rang in her 70th birthday with a James Bond-themed celebration hosted on November 8 at Amazon founder billionaire Jeff Bezos' $165 million mansion in Beverly Hills.
Meghan and Harry were both pictured outside the venue as they attended the party. They were dressed for the themed occasion, with Meghan stunning in black with a thigh-high skirt split and statement gold earrings while Harry looked suave in a suit and bowtie. According to multiple outlets, Kris had originally included a photo of her with the royal couple in an Instagram post from the event. Meanwhile, Kim had posted a picture of just her and Meghan smiling for a snap together.
Both the stars have since deleted the images of the royals from their respective posts. While no official reason was given, a source later told People, "There were no consent forms" for photo release.
On the same night, Harry and Meghan attended another event in California. The couple were both at the Baby2Baby Gala in West Hollywood, where they posed for a photo with tennis champion Serena Williams. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex wore the same outfits they were spotted in at Kris' starry birthday party.

Over the years, the couple have had subtle connections to the Kardashian family; in particular, Kim and Meghan have had some common ties. In May 2023, Meghan reportedly hired Kim's former bodyguard. The stars have also both previously worked with celebrity hairstylist Michael Silva.
In August, Kris revealed she'd been sent a gift from Meghan's lifestyle brand As Ever. According to People, Kris thanked the Duchess of Sussex on her Instagram Stories for the crate of Napa Valley rosé. "Thank you @megan @aseverofficial," Kris wrote in the since-expired post. Two years earlier, in August 2023, Kris and Kim were pictured at the This Is About Humanity’s 5th Anniversary Soiree with Meghan's mother Doria Ragland.
Following Meghan and Harry's appearance at Kris' birthday party, HELLO! readers have been debating whether it's a good look for the Sussexes to attend such a high-profile showbiz party which fell on the same weekend as Remembrance Day. Results from the poll revealed more than half responded 'no'. One reader noted it was a case of they're "damned if they do, and damned if they don’t.”
