(NewsNation) — Royal insiders in England are aghast at Prince Harry and Meghan attending Kris Jenner’s 70th birthday party last weekend at the home of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez.
“It’s unconscionable,” one insider gasped. “The day we remember our war heroes, our veterans — of which Harry is one! — and he goes off to a ball!”
While Harry did wear a poppy flower pin to signify the day, his wife did not.
“It’s galling — they should never come back to England,” the insider added.
Meghan, Prince Harry’s Remembrance Day
The couple’s glamorous night out came on the eve of Remembrance Sunday — the most solemn occasion on the royal family’s calendar.
To make matters worse, in years past, Harry had made sure to spend Remembrance Day weekend honoring fallen soldiers.
In 2023, Harry and Meghan visited Camp Pendleton in San Diego to meet with U.S. servicemembers, veterans and Gold Star Families ahead of Remembrance Day — and a year later, also gave tribute to fallen soldiers.
This year, however, was different.
Prince Harry, Meghan partied with big name stars
The couple chose to party with Adele, Mariah Carey, Bill Gates, Justin and Hailey Bieber, Mark Zuckerberg, Oprah Winfrey and Stevie Wonder instead.
“Why didn’t they just come in the side door like Beyoncé and Jay-Z?” One Hollywood type wondered. “There are absolutely zero pictures of them arriving and perhaps one of Beyoncé inside — but none of Jay-Z. If Harry and Meghan didn’t want attention, they should have just asked for the side door. But then again — Meghan loves the cameras.”
It was not only bad optics, but bad for the Sussexes’ business. While they did hobnob with Hollywood elite and execs — in hopes of gaining more business — the couple were again slammed when they forced Kris Jenner and Kim Kardashian to take down several pictures of them on the Kardashian Instagram.
According to People: “The Duke and Duchess of Sussex didn’t agree to have photos of them taken inside the party shared, and checked ‘no’ on a photo consent form, leading to the images posted on Instagram to be removed.”
But as someone who knows the Kardashians scoffed, “That is ridiculous. Everything the Kardashians do is for public consumption, which leads to business. Harry and Meghan know that. They can’t have their cake and eat it too.”
”They messed up big time by going to that party. They should have either stayed home or gone in through the side door. It gives (Prince) William more ammunition to dispose of them once he becomes king.”
