Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s attendance at Kris Jenner’s 70th birthday party has made headlines many times over the last week, especially when it was noted that photographs of the couple had disappeared from social media posts after the event. Last Saturday, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped out to celebrate Kris’ birthday, and like many guests, appeared in photographs shared by Kris and Kim Kardashian on Instagram after the event.
While many enjoyed seeing such photographs, it came as a surprise when photos of Meghan and Harry were suddenly deleted from Instagram, while the pictures of other guests remained up. This has led to much speculation, with many wondering whether the deletion of the photos was a choice made by Harry and Meghan, or Kris and Kim.
Originally it was believed, and reported, by some outlets that the photographs of Harry, 41, and Meghan, 44, were removed from posts as the couple had ticked “no” on a photo consent form.
However, this is now not believed to be the case.
People magazine said that a source close to the event said: “There were no consent forms.”
This means that the reason the photographs were deleted still remains unknown.
It was reported by The Daily Mail that one likely reason for the photographs of the couple at the party being removed from social media could have been because they didn’t give permission.
One source reportedly said: “They (Harry and Meghan) were polite but firm – nothing goes online without their sign-off.
“They’ve built their brand on control, and they weren’t about to let a Kardashian post ruin that.”
It has also been speculated that the couple may have wanted the photos removed as it was not a good look to be partying on Remembrance Weekend, especially as Meghan was not wearing a poppy – a move she was slammed for.
Meghan Markle has not posted any photographs of the event on her own Instagram account.
