Why Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Were Deleted from Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner’s Birthday Photo Drop

The real reason Kris Jenner and Kim Kardashian removed photos of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry from their social media posts celebrating Jenner’s 70th birthday bash has been revealed.

PEOPLE understands the Duke and Duchess of Sussex didn’t agree to have photos of them taken inside the party shared, and checked ‘no’ on a photo consent form, leading to the images posted on Instagram to be removed.

Fans began to speculate about why The Kardashians stars removed photos of Meghan, 44, and Harry, 41, from Instagram after the couple attended the lavish James Bond–themed birthday celebration held at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez Bezos‘s Beverly Hills mansion on Saturday, Nov. 8.

Jenner’s social media post included a photo where she posed with Meghan and Harry, while Kardashian shared a picture of herself posing with Meghan.

A source previously told  that Meghan and Harry “arrived hand-in-hand and looked very happy” at the party.

“Meghan was glowing in a black wrap-style dress that showed off one leg. She looked very glamorous and fit the theme perfectly. Harry looked sharp in a tuxedo with a poppy for Remembrance Day,” said the source, referring to the symbol used to honor armed forces members who have died across the U.K. and the Commonwealth in the line of duty for the Nov. 11 holiday.

The couple drew criticism for their glamorous night out, which came on the eve of Remembrance Sunday — the most solemn occasion on the royal family’s calendar.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were among an A-list roster of celebrity guests that included Oprah Winfrey, Mariah Carey, Tyler Perry, Vin Diesel, Mark Zuckerberg, Adele, and Rich Paul.

Jenner was also supported by members of the extended Kardashian-Jenner family, including daughters Kim Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian, Kendall Jenner and Kylie Jenner, plus Travis Barker, Scott Disick, and Tristan Thompson, as well as Kris’ boyfriend, Corey Gamble.

According to TMZ, Bruno Mars performed at the birthday party. The birthday girl wowed in a vintage gown from the Givenchy Haute Couture by Alexander McQueen’s fall/winter 2002 collection, which she sourced from celeb-favorite vintage retailer LILY et Cie.

She paired the red ruffled gown with black opera gloves, a vintage Bvlgari bracelet and vintage Van Cleef & Arpels earrings. Celebrity hairstylist and family friend Chris Appleton did her stylish up-do.
