Kris Jenner may have just thrown subtle shade at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, and the internet is not letting it go. During her glamorous 70th birthday bash, the Kardashian mom reportedly deleted photos that featured the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, sparking online chatter about possible tension between two of the world’s most media-savvy families.
There’s some definite shade here, as this has to be the most unflattering picture of Harry and Meghan, especially Meghan, that Kris Jenner could have chosen. 🤣 That dress is also even more horrendous from this angle. pic.twitter.com/H3tqnkL1c0
At the James Bond-themed event, hosted by Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez in Beverly Hills, Jenner and daughter Kim Kardashian initially posted photos that included the royal couple, who attended alongside Beyoncé and Oprah Winfrey. But soon after, those posts disappeared, igniting questions: was this an innocent privacy request or a deliberate act of shade?
Many believe the royal couple may have requested the posts to be removed due to privacy concerns. Yet, when it comes to Jenner, every online move feels intentional, so fans are not convinced this was just a coincidence.
Kris Jenner’s Photo Deletion Fuels Rift Rumors
Kris Jenner’s decision to quietly delete photos featuring Prince Harry and Meghan Markle has quickly spiraled into one of the week’s most talked-about celebrity mysteries. What started as a few missing Instagram posts has now fueled talk of a quiet rift between the Kardashian matriarch and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, sparking royal family drama.
Some believe the Sussexes requested the deletion for privacy reasons, but others argue that the Kardashians‘ move was a subtle statement, possibly signaling discomfort or disapproval. Neither the Kardashians nor the Sussexes have publicly commented on the matter, leaving room for speculation to fill the silence.
In today’s world of precision-curated public personas, even a deleted Instagram post can feel like a statement. Many fans point out that in the Kardashian world, no post goes unnoticed without a purpose. For a family that thrives on control, image, and inclusion, deleting photos after they have gone public sends a subtle but deliberate message.
Whether it was about avoiding royal drama or maintaining brand neutrality, the result is the same: Jenner’s social media move sparked fresh speculation that the Kardashian-Jenner powerhouse is not eager to publicly align with the Sussexes.
Was Caitlyn Jenner Invited to Kris Jenner’s 70th Birthday?
While the Beverly Hills bash brought together an elite mix of royals, Hollywood icons, and billionaire power players, Caitlyn Jenner was nowhere to be seen. According to Page Six‘s detailed guest list of the event, featuring Adele, Mariah Carey, Bill Gates, and the Sussexes, Jenner’s name was not among the confirmed attendees.
Paparazzi captured guests arriving and leaving, yet Jenner was not seen in any images or clips from the night. That absence has fueled online speculation that she likely did not attend. However, no verified reports indicate whether she was invited or chose to skip the evening.
The former couple have maintained a polite but distant relationship in recent years, with reports suggesting Kendall Jenner is unhappy with Caitlyn, though neither has publicly addressed the celebration.
Jenner’s absence, or at least her absence from every trace of coverage, stood out as a reminder that even in the Kardashians’ perfectly choreographed world shown in their TV show, some family dynamics remain intentionally off-camera.
What do you think? Was the photo deletion just a PR decision or just another calculated move in Kris Jenner’s playbook? Share your thoughts in the comments!
