"Then don't pose for it": Megyn Kelly slams Meghan Markle for allegedly asking Kardashians to remove her photos from Kris Jenner’s birthday bash

Conservative podcaster Megyn Kelly slammed Meghan Markle for allegedly asking the Kardashians to delete her photos from Kris Jenner’s birthday celebration. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were spotted at Kris Jenner's 70th birthday party. Kim Kardashian and her mother also reportedly posted photos with the Duchess of Sussex on their Instagram accounts.

However, the photos were later removed from the reality stars’ accounts. The now-deleted images circulated online and sparked a wave of speculation. Citing a source, Page Six reported in its exclusive that the pictures were allegedly scrubbed by the Kardashians after Meghan Markle's representative asked them to do so.

"They don’t want to piss off the royal family while they are trying to reconcile," the source told the outlet.

In her November 13 podcast, Megyn Kelly discussed the issue with Maureen Callahan. In the conversation, Kelly stated that Meghan Markle was "pissed" that the Kardashians posted pictures with her and reportedly asked to take them down. She questioned the Duchess's alleged move and said:

"Well, and so who shows up and then scolds the host, the birthday girl, for having the photo with them? It's like, then don't pose for it, you idiot. Just say I'm I'd rather not."

Maureen Callahan chimed in and said that the Duchess should simply avoid attending such events. The Nerve host further stated that had Meghan Markle remained a working royal, "the likes of Kris Jenner" would have been eager to be in her presence, rather than the other way around.

"She doesn't get that this is not good for her brand," Callahan added.

In the podcast, Kelly also showed the now-deleted pictures in which the Duchess was seen alongside Kris Jenner and Kim Kardashian. Emphasizing the Kardashians' highly publicized lives, Megyn Kelly questioned why Markle posed with them.

"Meanwhile, what lunatic poses for a photo with a Kardashian and thinks it's not going to get posted?" Kelly commented.

Maureen Callahan said that the Kardashians and Jenners were "extremely angry with the Sussex's" for making an "ad hoc demand" of scrubbing the pictures.

Megyn Kelly and Maureen Callahan comment on Meghan Markle’s upcoming Netflix special

On November 10, Meghan Markle announced that her holiday Netflix special, With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration, would be released on December 3. Megyn Kelly and Maureen Callahan had previously parodied the Duchess’s Netflix lifestyle series. Following the announcement of the holiday special, the two podcasters discussed Markle's upcoming project in their Thursday episode.

When Callahan told Megyn Kelly about the Markles' new show, she responded:

"Oh god. What? We're gonna have to fire up the band."

Taking a shot at the Duchess, Callahan said she keeps her comments section off and does not want to hear people’s opinions about her show. The Nerve host also told Megyn Kelly that she believed Meghan Markle had seen the parody they made. Kelly interjected and said:

"One hundred percent. She's making veiled references to us in some of these interviews. I know. It's fine. Keep it going. She should be on her knees thanking us... Didn't you say the only reason she's getting any views at all is because of rubbernecking from our mocking? Yeah. People are like, 'Oh, now I want to take a look at what she's doing.' Just to laugh at it. It's fun. It's comedy."

Regarding the photos deleted from the Kardashians’ Instagram accounts, a few reports claimed that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry had marked "NO" on an alleged consent form for photographs at Jenner’s birthday bash. However, in its November 13 exclusive, People reported that there was no such consent form.
