Kim Kardashian breaks silence on why Prince Harry and Meghan Markle photos were deleted from Kris Jenner’s birthday post

by

Kim Kardashian has explained what happened to the photos of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle that disappeared from her Instagram after her mother, Kris Jenner, turned 70.

Fans were puzzled in November 2025 when photos of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle at a glamorous Los Angeles event suddenly vanished from social media. The couple had been cheerfully photographed arriving at the James Bond-themed party earlier that evening.

Kim Kardashian recently addressed the controversy surrounding digitally altered family photos on her sister Khloe’s podcast. She explained that the decision to edit the photos wasn’t about causing drama, but rather a way to show respect for everyone involved.

It was a completely harmless situation, which is surprising when you think about it,” Kim said. “My mom and Meghan have been friends for years and have a genuinely lovely connection.

Kim stated that Harry and Meghan originally approved the photos – taken at Jenner’s birthday party with many famous guests – being released to the public.

She said they initially gave her the go-ahead to post the content. But after it went live, they apparently realized it was Remembrance Day and became concerned about the appearance of hosting a party on such a solemn occasion. They quickly took it down, and she believes they later recognized how unnecessary the whole situation was.

As a lifestyle commentator, I’ve been following the recent events closely, and it’s interesting to note the nuance surrounding Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s appearance at the Baby2Baby gala. While they were photographed there, it’s important to understand that there’s a difference – a distinction, if you will – to be made regarding the context of their attendance.

Kim said that while the previous activity was okay, it wasn’t appropriate to be partying and dancing, so they moved the group to a more respectful setting for Remembrance Day.

Each November, Remembrance Day pays tribute to the men and women who died while serving in the military.

Prince Harry was seen wearing a poppy – a symbol of remembrance – as he arrived at a party hosted by Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez.

The Daily Mail has contacted Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s team for a response, but they haven’t received one yet.

Kendall Jenner had her birthday party the night before members of the royal family attended the yearly service at London’s Cenotaph.

Looking back, I think Kim really hit the nail on the head when she said things got completely out of control. It honestly escalated way beyond what anyone ever imagined or wanted to happen. It’s a good reminder that even with the best intentions, things don’t always go as planned.

She explained that sometimes you have to find the humor in a situation and try to make it less serious. If people are misinterpreting things, she suggested addressing it directly. She even joked about using the incident as inspiration for a playful Skims ad campaign.

Kim remembered suggesting a Skims campaign where they’d quickly post a photo – even just a casual one of them – and then delete it after about half an hour. She’d then claim she hadn’t been authorized to share the photo as part of the campaign.

Still, Kim emphasized that the entire saga left her feeling a bit disappointed.

She felt the project would have been better received if it had been lighter and more humorous. She was disappointed by the negative reaction it actually got, saying it became unnecessarily dramatic and overblown.

The photos that were removed showed Kardashian and Meghan, 44, smiling together, while Prince Harry, 41, was pictured talking to someone nearby.

A photo captured Meghan with her hand on Jenner’s shoulder, while Harry playfully made a face at her.

Kendall Jenner’s Bond-themed party attracted a lot of stars, including Beyoncé and Justin Bieber, with whom she shared a dance. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were also in attendance, as Jenner shared photos from behind the scenes.

The famous momager also posted a picture of herself dancing with Bieber, who politely bowed to her while they were on the dance floor.

After the formal events, the sisters’ podcast chat stayed light and fun, covering things like family meals, their daily lives, and a recent trip to Malibu that included Kylie Jenner and her partner, Timothée Chalamet.

You know, I’ve been hearing all about Kylie’s recent night out! She had a really lovely, intimate dinner, and honestly, it sounds like she and Timothée had a fantastic time. My sisters and I were all laughing about how wiped we were the next day – a good night always takes it out of you, doesn’t it? It’s so nice to see her enjoying herself.

I absolutely loved the ‘When Was the Last Time’ game on the latest episode! It was so funny to hear Kim admit it’s been ages – seriously, years! – since she’s just gone to a regular supermarket. It felt really relatable, even though her life is so different from mine!

During the first part of her two-part interview, Kim Kardashian addressed her ongoing conflict with Taylor Swift and clarified where they currently stand.

The conflict started in 2016 with the release of Kanye West’s song “Famous.” Kim Kardashian then shared edited recordings of phone calls between West and Taylor Swift, which made it appear Swift had been dishonest. This led to a flurry of snake emojis online, angry reactions from fans, and ultimately inspired Swift’s album, “Reputation.”

Following her recognition as TIME’s Person of the Year in 2023, Taylor Swift publicly criticized Kim Kardashian, stating that Kardashian had caused her significant emotional distress and essentially forced her to withdraw from public life. This brought their long-running conflict back into the news.

With the ongoing drama surrounding Taylor Swift, Khloe decided to ask what everyone was thinking: ‘Would people be shocked to learn you listen to her music?’

Kim replied, ‘I think I’ve said it.’

Khloe chimed in, ‘I think people would be surprised.’

Kim confessed she still enjoys listening to some of the artist’s older songs, adding that she’s always considered her to be incredibly talented.

Suddenly, the conversation shifted. Khloe quickly changed the subject, asking, ‘So… are you into country music?’

Kim excitedly shared her love for country music, naming Shania Twain, Carrie Underwood, and Lee Ann Rimes as some of her favorites, particularly Lee Ann Rimes, whom she’s a huge fan of.
