Kim Kardashian and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex haunt the internet with dependable regularity. Kardashian courts cameras; Prince Harry and Meghan Markle court constitutional tension and headlines. Different paths, same talent for disruption, culminating in a deleted-post mystery Kim Kardashian briskly clarified.

Kim Kardashian said she and Kris Jenner deleted Instagram photos with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry to respect Remembrance Day, not secrecy. She explained the decision on Khloé Kardashian’s podcast, Khloé In Wonder Land, citing sensitivity around partying images during a military remembrance holiday.

“And then I think they realized, like, ‘Oh, this was so silly,'” the Kardashian remarked, describing the belated realization.

She referenced Kris Jenner’s friendship with Meghan Markle to further prove her point. She also added that while the two royals were photographed at the Baby2gala the same day, that event was more dignified than being caught dancing on the dance floor.

“But I hated how that was received for everyone,” Kardashian concluded, lamenting public overreaction in Khloé In Wonder Land. She framed the deletion as basic respect for Remembrance Day, while the internet predictably converted restraint into offence, assigning drama where none had been invited.

Kim Kardashian’s offhand remark about Meghan Markle and Kris Jenner quietly turned their long-standing friendship into one that required a deep dive.

A deeper look at the Meghan Markle and Kris Jenner's friendship

The friendship between Kris Jenner and Meghan Markle traces back years, with public appearances marking the start of their bond. In August 2023, Kris Jenner and Kim Kardashian were first seen with Meghan Markle’s mother, Doria Ragland, at the This Is About Humanity 5th Anniversary Soiree in Los Angeles, establishing an initial public connection between the families.

In April 2024, Kris Jenner demonstrated her appreciation for Meghan Markle’s lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, when she received a jar of strawberry jam. Jenner shared the gift on her Instagram Stories, publicly thanking Meghan Markle and signaling warmth beyond mere social acquaintance.

The following year, in August 2025, Kris Jenner continued this friendly exchange after Meghan Markle’s brand pivoted to As Ever. Jenner publicly acknowledged a lavish gift crate containing rosé, herbal teas, and cookie mixes, further cementing their cordial relationship.

And of course, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry attended Kris Jenner’s 70th birthday party at Jeff Bezos’s Beverly Hills mansion, which caused the 'Photo-gate' chaos. But Kim Kardashian’s revelation closes the chapter on drama, leaving only friendship in its wake.
