Kim Kardashian has clarified the controversy surrounding deleted Instagram photos featuring Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, stating the decision was "really innocent" and made out of respect for Remembrance Day. The photos were taken at Kris Jenner's 70th birthday party in November.
Speaking on her sister Khloé's podcast, Khloé In Wonder Land, Kim explained that her mother and Meghan are longtime friends. She said they had received permission to post the pictures from the celebration at Jeff Bezos's Beverly Hills mansion. However, they later realized the party coincided with Remembrance Day in the UK.
“They didn’t want to be seen partying and dancing on that day,” Kim stated. “So we took them down to respect Remembrance Day.” She noted that while the couple had attended the Baby2Baby Gala earlier that evening, a private party appearance might have been deemed inappropriate given the solemn occasion.
Kim expressed frustration that the incident was "blown out of proportion." “It was made into something so crazy and ridiculous that it didn’t have to be,” she said, lamenting the unnecessary backlash. She described the whole situation as something that could have been handled more lightly.
The explanation puts to rest widespread speculation that the deletion was due to a feud or external pressure, framing it instead as a simple, respectful gesture toward a significant day of remembrance.
