The Duke and Duchess of Sussex attended the James Bond-themed birthday party in Beverly Hills on November 5.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry attended Kris Jenner’s major milestone, looking elegant. However, their presence at Kris’s 70th birthday has sparked online discussion after the couple’s photos from the event were deleted and details emerged about how they interacted at the party.
Regal Style for a Glamorous Affair
The star-studded celebration took place at the mansion of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez. Meghan looked sophisticated in a black long-sleeved top paired with a matching floor-length skirt and peep-toe heels. She completed her ensemble with a black velvet clutch and sparkling drop earrings.
Prince Harry embraced the James Bond theme in a classic tuxedo and bow tie, and he was seen holding hands with Meghan during the event. The 41-year-old also wore a traditional poppy pinned to his jacket in honor of Remembrance Day.
A source said of the couple, “They arrived hand-in-hand and looked very happy. Meghan was glowing. She looked very glamorous and fit the theme perfectly. Harry looked sharp in a tuxedo.”
Meghan Made the Most of the Star-Studded Celebration
Another insider, who described the Duchess as “cool,” said Meghan used the playful moment to connect with many influential guests. “She was definitely in networking mode. She schmoozed with a lot of power players,” the source added.
Notable guests at the event included Mariah Carey, Justin Bieber, Hailey Bieber, Tina Knowles, Kyle Richards, Kathy Hilton, Gayle King, and Rita Wilson. Beyoncé and Jay-Z also attended discreetly, bypassing the paparazzi by arriving through a private entrance.
Deleted Photos Add Fuel to Online Frenzy
Inside the celebration, Meghan was photographed alongside Kim Kardashian in now-deleted images that had been shared on Kim’s Instagram account. Both Kim and her mother, Kris, quietly removed the photos featuring Meghan and Harry from their birthday posts.
Kris had originally uploaded a carousel of pictures from her glamorous bash, one of which showed her posing with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. The photo, along with another shot capturing Meghan resting her hands on Kris’s shoulders as they chatted animatedly while Harry looked on, has since been taken down.
Kim also initially posted a picture of herself and Meghan smiling for the camera, with another showing them posing together as Harry spoke with someone nearby. Those images have likewise been deleted, and neither Kim nor Kris has commented on why the photos were removed.
Meghan’s Connection to the Kardashian-Jenner Clan
Still, Meghan Markle and Harry’s presence at Kris’s party was not unexpected, given the duchess’s longstanding connection with the Kardashian-Jenner family.
In August, she sent the family products from her lifestyle brand, As Ever, including a crate of rosé to Kris. The reality star shared her reaction on Instagram Stories at the time. “Thank you @megan @aseverofficial,” Kris wrote over a photo of the gift, adding a string of brown heart emojis.
As previously reported, Kris’s birthday party was as lavish as expected — but it has also become the center of controversy.
Despite Harry and Meghan attending the event, not a single trace of them remains on the glossy Instagram carousels posted by the Kardashian-Jenner clan.
Star-Studded Night
Some of the carousels, posted on November 9 and 10, show Kris shimmering in a ravishing red vintage Givenchy Haute Couture gown, beaming alongside some of the biggest names in entertainment and tech.
Snapped throughout the night were Paris and Nicky Hilton, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan, and Melanie Griffith.
Kim cozied up for photos with her “All’s Fair” co-stars Naomi Watts, Niecy Nash, Sarah Paulson, Teyana Taylor, and the show’s creator, Ryan Murphy. And the star power didn’t stop there.
Kathie Lee Gifford, Vin Diesel, Tyler Perry, and Oprah Winfrey herself were among the dazzling attendees. The glamorous crowd appeared endless.
A Missing Couple
Photos also featured Victoria Villarroel, Kris’s longtime partner Corey Gamble, Alicia Keys, Chris Rock, Meghan Trainor, Vanessa Bryant, Ciara, and Snoop Dogg.
But Meghan and Harry weren’t seen in any of those carousels. Curious fans had originally flooded the comment sections, seemingly implying that at least one photo with the royal couple had been posted.
“A party with Jeff Bezos, Beyoncé, Justin Bieber, Mark Zuckerberg, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. WOW, Thats kris jenner [sic]!” one netizen gushed, while someone on the same thread asked, “Where is Meghan?”
Another swooned, “Seeing The Duchess of Sussex finally having fun❤️ and in peace makes me happy ! Thank you beautiful Kris! U have a 💛 [sic].” But in the replies, one commenter questioned, “The Duchess of [expletive]? Where?”
A more excited post read simply, “You and Meghan 😍.” Soon enough, however, many Instagrammers noticed the alleged change.
“Why removing Megan markle from the photo’s [sic]?” someone questioned, while another stated, “Meghan’s been scrubbed. 😂”
Unfortunately, netizens are left with only speculation, as neither camp has come forward with answers as to why the Duke and Duchess’s presence at the event was scrubbed.

But that’s not the only part of the lavish party that attracted online attention. As previously reported, the music — along with the thundering energy of hundreds of partygoers — was so intense that it sparked more than a little neighborhood unrest.
It’s the Sound of the Police
According to multiple reports, local authorities were dispatched to the property after several noise complaints were made by nearby residents.
As A-listers trickled out of the mansion and into chauffeured cars, people were seen working quickly to remove the dividers under police supervision. Despite the brief hiccups, the night continued without incident inside the party.

Still, the presence of flashing lights and uniformed officers at the exit gave the soirée an unexpected, cinematic twist — one Kris may not have planned, but an instance that certainly added to the buzz.
