Meghan Markle and Prince Harry made headlines when they attended Kris Jenner’s 70th birthday party, rubbing shoulders with some of the biggest names in Hollywood. But in the days that followed, photographs of the royal couple with the Kardashian-Jenner clan disappeared from social media — fueling speculation of a rift. Now, Kris has made a very public gesture of support for Meghan, suggesting that the drama may never have been a feud at all (Royal Insider; The List).

The Kardashian-Sussex Photo Mystery: What Really Happened

At Jenner’s glamorous James Bond–themed 70th birthday celebration, held at Jeff Bezos’ mansion, Meghan and Harry arrived hand-in-hand and looked relaxed among A-listers. Kris and her daughter Kim both posted Instagram photos of the couple at the event (People; HELLO!). But to everyone’s surprise, those photos vanished shortly afterward.

According to multiple sources, Meghan and Harry asked for the pictures to be taken down quietly (Yahoo / Hollywood). One insider told Page Six that the couple was concerned about upsetting the royal family while they were working on reconciliation. (Cosmopolitan, via celebrity news). Another report said that Meghan and Harry declined to have some of their images shared publicly by checking “no” when asked to consent to photography at the party (Geo.tv) — though other sources dispute whether any photo-waiver form was even used.

The timing added fuel to the controversy: the party fell just before Remembrance Day, a major day of national reflection in the UK. Harry was photographed wearing a red poppy on his tuxedo lapel, leading to speculation that sharing glamorous party images so close to such a solemn holiday could be seen as tone-deaf (Geo.tv; Yahoo).

Kris Jenner Steps In With a Show of Support for Meghan

In the wake of the photo scandal, Kris Jenner has made moves that suggest there’s no real animosity — at least from her side. On November 20, she reshared Meghan’s Netflix trailer for With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration on her Instagram, signaling alignment and admiration (Royal Insider).

But she didn’t stop there. Kris also reposted Meghan’s recent Harper’s Bazaar cover interview, where Meghan spoke candidly about her relationship with Harry. By promoting both, Kris appears to be affirming her friendship with Meghan and publicly backing her amid swirling speculation (Royal Insider).

What This Means for Their Relationship — and the Rumors

While the deletion of the party photos sparked rumors of a fallout between the Kardashians and the Sussexes, Kris Jenner’s public gestures suggest a much different story. Rather than distancing herself from Meghan, she is amplifying Meghan’s voice — sharing her content and supporting her media presence.

This could be Kris’ way of silencing the chatter: there may never have been a falling out, just a clash of privacy expectations. Meghan and Harry, known for carefully controlling their public image, likely didn’t want certain photos out at that moment. Now Kris has reminded the world — and her own audience — that she stands with them.
