Kim Kardashian Deletes Meghan Markle From Kris Jenner Birthday Photo Sparking Buzz
Kim Kardashian is currently in the news for subtly editing Meghan Markle out of a recent Instagram share — prompting questions about the extent of the former duchess's connection to the Kardashian family.
Despite no public confirmation of a bond from either Meghan, 44, or Kim, 45, observant followers quickly spotted Meghan present at Kris Jenner’s milestone 70th birthday celebration — particularly after Kim seemingly erased a picture featuring Meghan from her Instagram gallery commemorating the event.
The photographs, shared on Monday, November 10, depicted the Duchess of Sussex standing with Kim, with Prince Harry visible further back. Soon after their initial upload, the specific photo containing Meghan seemed to vanish without any stated reason.
Us Weekly has contacted representatives for both Team Sussex and Kim for their input.

An early link between Meghan and the renowned family surfaced in May 2023 when it was revealed Meghan had employed Kim’s ex-bodyguard. The Sun released images then showing Meghan with an individual previously observed among Kim’s security detail. (Both women also utilized the services of personal trainer Tracy Anderson and hairstylist Michael Silva during different phases of their professional lives.)
By August of the same year, Kim seemingly developed yet another connection to the Duchess of Sussex. The Skims creator and Jenner were photographed at a Los Angeles gathering, conversing and taking pictures with Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland.
Jenner provided a glimpse into her connection with Meghan just prior to As Ever’s formal debut this past March. Jenner shared an image of the promotional items she had been sent by the brand back then.
“I am eagerly anticipating trying out each and every item!” Jenner wrote on an Instagram Story then. “I'm absolutely thrilled!!!!”
Khloé Kardashian similarly alluded to a bond with Meghan via As Ever merchandise.
The Good American co-founder, 41, uploaded an image of a hamper filled with As Ever items and fresh produce this past August. Meghan reposted the picture, including the text: “Hello, all my lovely ladies starting with a K.”
Meghan shares multiple mutual acquaintances with the Kardashian-Jenner clan — such as Serena Williams, Ellen DeGeneres, and Chrissy Teigen — which could further account for their connection.

Teigen, notably, has featured as a guest on both Keeping Up With the Kardashians and With Love, Meghan. The model's association with Meghan dates back significantly, as they both worked on Deal or No Deal during their nascent professional lives.
“It seems our lives have encompassed numerous phases, and that particular one stands out as quite significant and amusing,” Teigen commented during an August episode of the Netflix program.
They had not met in person for “nearly two decades,” prior to collaborating on the lifestyle series.
“I recall essentially being a supporting cast member [on Deal or No Deal],” Teigen recounted during the installment. “Following that, I became the alternate, and then assumed the role of the banker.”
Meghan brought up Teigen’s achievements subsequent to the show as their conversation continued.
“I departed that program, and merely a year or so afterward, you achieved widespread recognition,” Meghan stated. “My reaction was, ‘Goodness, she's featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated. She had simply been seated there quietly in a small chair.’ You possessed such kindness.”
