Meghan Markle has been ridiculed by a US TV star who has suggested she and Prince Harry ‘crashed’ Kris Jenners’ 70th birthday party. Comedian Heather McDonald took a swipe at the Duchess and her husband amid claims tensions are brewing between the Royal couple and the Kardashian clan matriarch and daughter, Kim.
Kris turned 70 last week and Kim deleted pictures of Harry and Meghan at the lavish bash from their Instagram accounts. And there are conflicting accounts of why the photos were removed, reports The Express.
Meghan and Harry’s spokesperson have argued that guests at the party, which was at the home of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez, were asked for permission to publicly share their snaps, and Meghan and Harry said ‘no’. They further claimed this was not communicated to the Kardashian family.
On her podcast, Heather spoke about the mystery surrounding the deleted snaps and said to guest Zack Peter: “So what do you think happened? Was it the poppy thing?”
There have been reports that Meghan was unhappy photos were posted of her not wearing a poppy, unlike Harry, in recognition of Remembrance Day.
Peter said: “I don’t know. I think it was deliberate. My theory was that they [Meghan and Harry] weren’t invited to the party. Maybe they had a publicist or a friend that’s like ‘I’ll get you in’.
“So, they ended up crashing the party after the Baby Gala. So maybe Kris and Kim deleted them because they didn’t want anything to do with them. I think they were party crashers. My point is, Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez held the party, and they don’t even like Meghan Markle.”
Heather added: “We knew a couple of days before that it was at the Bezos mansion. Do you think [Meghan] thought, ‘Before we go home to Montecito, let’s do a little loop-de-loop and once we show up, nobody is going to say that we can’t come in’.
“Do you think Kris and Kim removed them because they realised she was never invited? And that p**sed them off? Oh, that’s a good theory.”

Zack said: “Yeah, and they found out, and it’s an immediate cross off the list.”
The Express previously reported that Kris Jenner hit back as her team told Daily Mail that her guests were never asked for their consent for pictures being posted, before rumours swirled that Harry and Meghan asked her to take the pictures down themselves.
The publication was then told by an inside source: “Meghan is so particular about curating her image and has approval over every photo that goes out. She saw those photos and realised how bad she looked compared to every other woman at the party and obviously threw a fit.”
