"Why would they both remove photos?": Zack Peter theorizes Meghan Markle & Prince Harry gatecrashed Kris Jenner’s 70th birthday party

American comedian and podcaster Zack Peter has been speculating that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may have "gatecrashed" Kris Jenner’s 70th birthday party, after Jenner's daughters Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner abruptly deleted photos featuring the royal couple from social media.

According to Peter, the now-removed images were originally shared from Kris Jenner’s James Bond-themed bash, which was hosted at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s Beverly Hills mansion on November 8, 2025, as reported by PEOPLE on November 11, 2025.

In a video posted to X (formerly Twitter) on November 12, 2025, Zack Peter questioned why the Kardashians would remove only the photos showing Meghan Markle and Prince Harry while keeping all others from the star-studded event. In the clip, the podcaster said,

"Maybe they weren’t supposed to be there. Why would they both remove photos with Meghan Markle?"

As reported by PEOPLE on November 9, 2025, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle attended Kris Jenner’s 70th birthday party looking “very happy” as they arrived hand-in-hand.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex joined an A-list guest list that included Oprah Winfrey, Mariah Carey, Tyler Perry, Adele, Justin Bieber, and Mark Zuckerberg, among others.

The evening reportedly had a James Bond-themed dress code, with Meghan Markle reportedly wearing a black wrap-style gown and Prince Harry in a tuxedo, along with a poppy pin for Remembrance Day.

The party was hosted by multibillionaire Jeff Bezos and his wife Lauren Sánchez, who transformed their Beverly Hills estate into a James Bond-style venue. However, it remains unclear how close the Sussexes are to the hosts or to the Kardashian-Jenner family.

A PEOPLE source allegedly said that Meghan “looked glamorous and fit the theme perfectly.” Still, the sudden deletion of all related photos from Kardashian and Jenner’s Instagram accounts has left fans puzzled.

Adding to the mystery, the couple had spent the earlier part of the evening at the Baby2Baby Gala in West Hollywood, an annual fundraiser honoring their longtime friend Serena Williams, according to Zack Peter. The podcaster suggested that Meghan and Harry may have decided to “stop by” the Jenner event afterward, implying their appearance could have been unplanned.

More about Zack Peter's theory on the Sussexes' appearance at Kris Jenner's birthday party

In his video on social media, Zack Peter said that neither Meghan Markle nor Prince Harry appears to have strong personal connections with Kris Jenner or the event’s hosts, saying,

"They weren’t even at Jeff and Lauren’s wedding"

The podcaster suggested that the royal couple might have attended without a direct invitation. Zack Peter also noted that both Kris Jenner and Kim Kardashian removed only their photos with the Sussexes while leaving images of other celebrities untouched, a detail the podcaster seems to find suspicious, saying,

"Maybe when Kim and Kris found out afterwards, they were like, well, take those pictures down"

As reported by PEOPLE on November 9, 2025, Meghan Markle previously sent Kris Jenner and her daughters promotional gift baskets containing rosé, jams, and honey, and Jenner publicly thanked her on Instagram.

Meghan and Kris also share mutual acquaintances, such as Oprah Winfrey and Gayle King, both of whom were also at the Beverly Hills event. Still, Peter pointed out that there’s “no record” of the Sussexes having a close relationship with Bezos or Sánchez, who hosted the bash.

According to media reports, the couple’s other engagement that night, the Baby2Baby Gala in West Hollywood, provides context for the timeline. The annual fundraiser, which honored tennis superstar Serena Williams, ended shortly before the birthday celebration for Kris Jenner began.

Meghan Markle was photographed alongside the charity’s co-CEOs, Kelly Sawyer Patricof and Norah Weinstein, before reportedly heading to the Beverly Hills venue. According to media reports, some people believe that the Sussexes, still dressed in formal wear, may have made an impromptu decision to attend the second event.
