Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s appearance at Kris Jenner’s extravagant 70th birthday party has reportedly sparked renewed debate about their royal status behind palace walls. According to one palace insider, senior royal aides were “appalled” by the couple’s attendance at the celebrity-filled bash. Some allegedly view the move as further evidence that the Sussexes have drifted far from royal tradition.
Palace insiders were ‘appalled’ by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s presence at Kris Jenner’s party
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s glitzy night out at Kris Jenner’s birthday celebration in Beverly Hills has sparked fresh criticism from palace insiders, according to a new report from Page Six. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were photographed smiling and mingling among an A-list crowd. The star-studded event was hosted by billionaire businessman Jeff Bezos and his wife Lauren Sánchez at their $165 million estate. It was a Hollywood spectacle that some royal observers claim runs counter to the values of the British monarchy.
“It’s so tacky,” one royal insider allegedly told Page Six. They claimed the couple’s embrace of Hollywood glamour shows why they shouldn’t return to the royal family. The source added that Harry’s choices reveal how far he’s drifted from Prince William and royal life in the U.K.
Adding to the awkwardness, attendees reportedly included Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Harry and Meghan previously criticized Zuckerberg for contributing to what they described as a “global mental health crisis.” The couple’s Archewell Foundation publicly took aim at Zuckerberg earlier this year after Meta relaxed content moderation policies on its platforms.
While some palace aides allegedly believe Harry and Meghan could still play a role in the royal family’s future, the same source told Page Six that Prince William remains focused on his own vision for a modern monarchy. “William has made it clear that he has a plan for being king,” the insider said. “And he has true class. I think he will look at the younger royals to help, including Prince Edward’s children.”
