Kim Kardashian Addresses Photo Controversy
Kim Kardashian recently spoke out regarding the controversy surrounding the photos of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle that were taken at Kris Jenner’s 70th birthday party on November 8. Both Kim and Jenner had shared images of the couple on Instagram, which were later removed, sparking various rumors.
What Happened at the Celebration
Last November, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were among many celebrities at Kris Jenner’s birthday gathering held at the home of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez. After the event, Kim posted a photo with Meghan, while Kris shared another with both Harry and Meghan.
Photos Deleted Amid Rumors
Shortly after sharing the photos, they were deleted, leading to speculation about their removal. Reports suggested that the couple had not given permission for the photos to be shared, while others indicated that no consent forms were available at the event. On the January 28 episode of Khloé Kardashian’s podcast, “Khloé in Wonderland,” Kim clarified the situation.
Setting the Record Straight
During the podcast, Kim referred to the situation as “innocent,” explaining that her mother and Meghan have had a long-standing friendship. According to her, they initially communicated about which photos to post and had always intended to seek consent.
A Respectful Decision
Kim mentioned they posted “fun” photos but were informed afterward that it was Remembrance Day—a significant occasion for the royal family. As a result, they decided to remove the images out of respect. Khloé highlighted that the couple had attended a charity event before the celebration.
Reflecting on the Situation
Kim expressed that they could have approached the situation with humor and made light of it. She suggested a playful campaign idea involving the deleted photos, indicating that they could have turned the incident into a light-hearted moment rather than a controversy.
Overall Reception
Kim lamented how the situation spiraled into a ridiculous controversy, acknowledging that it should not have been such a big deal. She described the couple’s appearance at the party, indicating that Meghan looked glamorous in a black wrap dress and Harry honored Remembrance Day with a poppy on his tuxedo.
