"We're all familiar with the philosophical question, "If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?" What about, "If ex-British royals attend the 70th birthday of an American matriarch momager, but there are no photos of them, were they really there?" For me, the answer to both is: who fuckin' cares!"
"But obviously, people care because both Kim Kardashian and the birthday woman (I know the current state of her face screams "infant," but she is a 70-year-old woman), Kris Jenner, deleted Instagram photos of Meghan Markle at Jenner's birthday party from last weekend. Kim initially included Meghan in an Instagram slideshow that she shared on Monday. But, according to , shortly after posting the photos, the ones with Meghan in them were removed. Same with the photos that Kris had shared."
"Initially, I wondered if this was a snub on the American royals' (KarJenner) part-Revolutionary War part deux? But according to some snooping from , the photos of Meghan were taken down because the party took place on Remembrance Sunday, aka British Veterans Day, and it could be seen as insensitive that the Sussexes were out partying. So, clearly, it was the Duke and Duchess of Sussex who asked for its removal."
"I dunno, man. The crossover of people who care deeply about the politics of Remembrance Day and would be offended if the Sussexes are at an open bar with Snoop Dogg is already a full circle. Meghan and Harry ought to be OK with not courting to those folks, cut their losses, and just enjoy the absolutely not-fun birthday party PR event they've been invited to. Also, you're attending a KarJenner event-that is essentially a photo shoot with an espresso martini fountain."
Photos of Meghan Markle were deleted from Instagram posts by Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner after Jenner's 70th birthday party. Kim initially included Meghan in a slideshow shared on Monday, but the photos featuring Meghan were removed shortly after posting, and Kris removed similar photos she had shared. The photos were reportedly taken down because the party occurred on Remembrance Sunday, which could make partying appear insensitive, and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex allegedly requested removal. There was speculation about whether the removals signaled a snub, and commentary suggested the Sussexes should prioritize enjoying the event rather than courting critics. Jenner's party was described as a James Bond-themed, photo-driven event.
