Harry and Meghan's photo-gate leaves Kardashian clan 'upset': Sussexes demanded not to be pictured inside Kris Jenner's 70th birthday party before mystery deletion.
The furore over deleted pictures of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry inside Kris Jenner's party has allegedly bewildered the Kardashians and 'won't be easily forgiven' in Hollywood, it was claimed today.
Candid photos of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex cosying up to the birthday girl - and Harry sashaying towards her on the dancefloor - were all mysteriously 'scrubbed' from social media.
People Magazine, the Sussexes' preferred publication in the US, has claimed that Meghan and Harry asked that no photographs of them inside the James Bond-themed party were published.
A source close to the Kardashian camp has said they are baffled, given the Sussexes were happy to be pictured inside the Baby2Baby Gala hours before the bash, where they posed with friend Serena Williams.
Another Daily Mail source in LA has confirmed that Harry and Meghan are believed to have ticked 'no' on a photo consent form before attending the ball thrown for Jenner by Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez at their $165million estate in Beverly Hills.
Jenner's Instagram post-party round-up showed a series of pictures of her with the couple. Her daughter Kim shared a photo of herself posing with Meghan. But these were later deleted, reportedly due to the Sussexes' consent form.
A California-based source told the Daily Mail today that Kim is fuming. Another expert said that Harry and Meghan have risked losing support from Hollywood A-listers that they 'need now more than ever'.
'Kim was like "you’ve already been papped outside and you were at the Baby2Baby event the same night being photographed like Meghan Trainor and Paris Hilton so what’s the problem?"' the Mail's source said, adding: 'Kim is pi**ed off'.
The Daily Mail has contacted representatives for the Sussexes, Kim and Jenner.
Former executive editor of the American edition of OK! magazine, Rob Shuter, who also acted as a publicist for Britney Spears and J-Lo, said Jenner and Kim view the request to delete pictures as a 'snub'.
'You cannot ghost the Kardashians,' one LA source told him.
Another insider added: 'Kim doesn’t do take-backs. If you show up to a Kardashian production, you’re part of the machine.
'Meghan’s made another Hollywood enemy. And unlike royals, Kardashians don’t forgive easily.'
Brand expert Nick Ede said their appearance at the party was all about buttering up Bezos - whose production company is making a movie Meghan is starring in - but they upset the Jenner-Kardashians in the process.
He claims Harry and Meghan are conflicted because a friendship with the billionaire 'goes against the narrative of environmental support and mental health'.
He added: 'Meghan and Harry have a problem with admitting they are now part of Hollywood society which is what she wanted and they cannot on one hand use their star power for good, like going to charity events, and on the other hand demand they are erased from events they don’t want to be seen to support.
'That behaviour will backfire on them and they need Hollywood support now more than ever'.
Despite the images being deleted, the pictures of Harry and Meghan are being shared on social media and were published by several websites in the United States.
Harry looked particularly happy in one photo, putting his arm around Kris, who was stood between him and his wife, with the prince leaning in to bring his face closer to her's.
Meghan looked far more serious, with her hand on Ms Jenner's shoulder.
The former Suits star smiled, but not as widely as her British husband, who in another deleted image appeared to be giddy and shimmying towards their host on the dancefloor.
The Duchess is seen laughing with her hand resting on Kris' shoulder.
Photos of the Sussexes with the birthday girl were posted on Instagram by both Kris, and her daughter Kim, but later deleted, it emerged on Tuesday.
However, photos of Ms Jenner with Beyonce, Justin Bieber, Mariah Carey, Mark Zuckerberg, Stevie Wonder, Oprah Winfrey and hosts Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez remain on her social media.
The deleted images of Kris and the Sussexes have been shared widely online by royal watchers who have questioned why the images were 'scrubbed', branding it 'weird'.
