Harry and Meghan fans 'work out' why Kim Kardashian quietly ‘removed’ photos with them from social media

Fans of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle think they know why Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner quietly 'deleted' their social media snaps with the royal couple.

For those not in the loop, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were among the Hollywood crowd at Kris Jenner's 70th birthday bash over the weekend.

The Kardashians 'momager' stole the show in a red strapless dress for her James Bond 007-themed party at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's Beverly Hills mansion, after she turning the milestone age on 5 November.

Both Kris and Kim, 45, shared a slew of photos from the star-studded bash to social media to show off their celebrity-heavy guest list, including the likes of Mariah Carey, Paris Hilton, Chris Rock, Mark Zuckerberg, Oprah Winfrey, Adele, and Snoop Dogg, just to name a few!

Also in attendance and featuring in the Instagram carousel were Meghan and Harry - Kris shared a photo of her posing with the couple, while Kim opted for a picture with Meghan.

However, these photos have seemingly now been 'deleted' without an explanation as to why, with the pictures of other people remaining.

While some people have rushed to suggest that it could be something against Harry and Meghan, others have pointed out a much more likely scenario.

As we know, the pair can be divisive and unfortunately, they're often targeted by trolls and met with a slew of cruel hate no matter what they do - so we can imagine that the comments section of these posts probably wasn't any different.

So, the fan theory is that perhaps the reality TV stars deleted the pictures to stop the trolls' comments or even maybe at the request of the couple themselves.

One Twitter user wrote: "Probably because they saw H/M getting attacked by hyper obsessed psychos."

While a second pointed out: "The dislike for H&M is real. H&M go to a party for PR, one wears a poppy, one doesn't but they both get criticised for their different choices. Then H&M are mocked for being in photos w/K&K & for K&K removing the photos."

And a third questioned: "Maybe couple asked not to be posted??"

Someone else commented: "They often do or ask to mute the comments as they don’t like the comments. Meghan never allowed comments on her Instagram for example."

"Maybe because trolls were making nasty comments," agreed a fifth, with a sixth agreed: "Maybe there was a lot of hate and didn’t want that you ever thought about that."

One fan, who took particular offence, added: "Well, that was an a**hole move. The Royals should be deleting pictures of the Kardashians."

Either way, it would seem the whole internet has noticed and the theories are definitely swirling!
