Kim Kardashian Ends Relationship with Meghan Markle Due to Her Overbearing Requests Distracting from Kris Jenner's Celebration

Kris Jenners 70th birthday a lavish James Bondinspired affair lit up Nov. 8 as Hollywoods elite gathered at Jeff Bezos $165 million Beverly Hills estate for an unforgettable night of cocktails, caviar, and casino-style games. Among the star-studded attendees were Mariah Carey, Justin Bieber, and Beyonc. Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, also joined the festivities and appeared to enjoy the glamorous evening.

However, shortly after the celebration, photos of the couple posted by Kris Jenner and Kim Kardashian abruptly vanished from social media. According to an insider, Harry and Meghan feared their presence at the party might reflect poorly on Harry amid his ongoing efforts to reconcile with King Charles III. The event extended well into the early hours of Nov. 9 the U.K.s Remembrance Day and Meghan notably did not wear the traditional poppy pin, raising concerns within the couples team.

The source claims Harry and Meghan asked Kris and Kim to remove the images, a request the reality TV moguls did not appreciate. What began as a simple request quickly spiraled into what insiders now call photo-gate, triggering mounting tension between Kim, 45, and Meghan, 44. The source says the Kardashians felt their carefully planned event was overshadowed by what they viewed as unreasonable demands.

Kim reportedly believed she had extended nothing but warmth toward Meghan for years, helping her adjust to Hollywood life following the couples move to Montecito in 2020. According to the insider, Kim sympathized with Meghans experience of public scrutiny and valued the connection with royalty. Kris and Kim were said to be enthusiastic about welcoming the pair into their circle.

Despite warnings that close association with the Kardashians might affect Meghans brand which includes her Netflix series With Love, Meghan and her lifestyle line, As Ever Meghan had chosen to maintain the relationship. She admired the familys business success and found their support valuable.

But the goodwill evaporated when Meghan and Harry asked for the photos removal. Kim complied, yet felt blindsided, reportedly stunned at being told to delete her own content. The insider says Kim viewed the request as disrespectful and indicative of the couple considering themselves above being seen with her an insult she has no intention of overlooking.

Meghan, for her part, remains unapologetic. According to the source, she insists her actions were simply part of navigating public life, not a calculated slight. In a recent interview with Harpers Bazaar, Meghan emphasized allowing herself room for mistakes and refusing to let public perception dictate her choices.

Meanwhile, those close to Kim are urging her to sever ties permanently. Some in her circle reportedly view Meghan as an opportunistic social climber and believe the relationship is more trouble than its worth. Whether the Kardashian family will continue any association with Meghan is uncertain, but insiders say Kim considers the relationship over.
