Old School. Biblically Independent.

Like any good social media junkie, I’m fully aware of the biggest scandal of the moment involving members of the royal family, obscenely decadent wealth, and a reality TV star. I’m, of course, talking about Kris Jenner and Kim Kardashian being forced to scrub photos of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle from their Instagram accounts. Why? What scandal were you thinking of?
To bring everyone up to speed, Kris Jenner threw a massive 70th birthday bash complete with a James Bond theme. Somehow, Harry and Meghan were in attendance, which only further proves my theory that Jenner is a powerful sorcerer who may or may not shoot lightning out of her fingertips. Have you seen these people’s faces? Something’s melting them!
Anyway, shortly after the event, both Kris and Kim quietly pulled photos of Harry and Meghan from their Instagram accounts, which did not go unnoticed and prompted all kinds of wild theories, including one that Kim was embarrassed to be seen with the supposedly “cringe” couple. Are you kidding me with this? Kim Kardashian would light Elmo on fire if it put her name in a headline. This entire family built their empire on the maxim that all publicity is good publicity.
So, what really happened? In a surprisingly mundane twist, Harry and Meghan felled the Kardashian machine with but a stroke of a pen. Via PEOPLE:
PEOPLE understands the Duke and Duchess of Sussex didn’t agree to have photos of them taken inside the party shared, and checked ‘no’ on a photo consent form, leading to the images posted on Instagram to be removed.
As for why Harry and Meghan would walk into the belly of the attention beast and think they could come out unscathed is beyond me. Everyone knows you were there, even more so now. That said, I do appreciate the flex. Sure, the Kardashians were able to immediately capitalize on the royal couple’s presence, but like any trickster, Kris Jenner was bound by her agreement, dearie. They say you can still hear her angrily working a spindle if the night is clear…
A Once Upon a Time reference? In the year 2025? Truly, I have my finger on the pop culture pulse. You folks are lucky to have me.
