Prince Harry and Meghan Markle asked the Kardashian family to remove pictures of them at Kris Jenner’s birthday party to keep things smooth with the Royal Family, it has been claimed. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex sparked backlash with their glitzy appearances last weekend in Los Angeles, while the Royal Family were marking Remembrance back in the UK.

One of those appearances was at Kris Jenner’s glamorous birthday bash in West Hollywood, which featured the crème de la crème of Hollywood’s elite. The Sussex couple were photographed arriving at Jeff Bezos’s home, where the party took place, but sparked further backlash when pictures of them emerged on Kris Jenner and Kim Kardashian’s Instagram accounts, showing them having a jolly time. The pictures of Harry and Meghan were later deleted, raising questions about the reason behind the move.

However, a source has now claimed that it was the Sussexes’ representative who asked the Kardashians to delete the pictures, and that it was due to a very particular reason.

A source told Page Six: ”They don’t want to piss off the Royal Family while they are trying to reconcile.”

Despite their decision, Palace insiders were reportedly not thrilled about Harry and Meghan’s glitzy night out and found it overly “tacky,” according to sources.

They told the outlet: “It truly shows that Harry is so far removed from the rest of the family.

“These people may be stars in America, but the pure ostentatiousness is at odds with what Prince William is trying to do with his life and the monarchy.”

Another source appeared to confirm the Sussexes’ motive behind their decision, telling the Daily Mail: “They 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.”
