In a night that was supposed to be a glamorous celebration, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle found themselves at the center of an unexpected royal snub at Kris Jenner’s star-studded 70th birthday bash. While the Duchess of Sussex and the Duke of Sussex arrived hand-in-hand and dressed to impress, sources reveal that Kris Jenner reportedly refused to pose publicly for a photo with the couple, capturing only awkward images of them from behind.

The James Bond-themed soirée held at Jeff Bezos’s Beverly Hills estate was packed with A-listers like Oprah Winfrey, Mariah Carey, and Tyler Perry. Meghan dazzled in a sleek black turtleneck and floor-length skirt, while Harry sported a classic tuxedo. Despite their high-profile appearance, Kris Jenner’s Instagram posts from the evening conspicuously excluded any direct photos of the Sussexes together, raising eyebrows and sending social media into a frenzy.
Fans quickly noticed Jenner’s subtle slight, speculating whether this was a deliberate snub or a behind-the-scenes drama no one wants openly acknowledged. While Meghan managed to get some photos with Kim Kardashian and Serena Williams, the cold distance from Jenner was palpable. Photos that did appear of Harry and Meghan were shot largely from behind or at awkward angles, intensifying rumors of tension.
This isn’t the first time the Sussexes have seemed on the outskirts of Hollywood’s elite parties, but this incident marks a particularly harsh public embarrassment, considering Meghan's ongoing attempts to integrate with celebrity circles. Some speculate that past gift exchanges, PR stunts, or personal disagreements may have soured the relationship.
Social media erupted with memes and comments mocking the awkward photo ops, with some fans dubbing it “The Jenner Rejects” moment. Others saw it as a sign their glamour days in the spotlight might be facing new obstacles.
Despite the cold shoulder, insiders say Harry and Meghan remained poised and focused, later attending a separate gala honoring Serena Williams. But the sting of Jenner’s refusal left a lasting impression on a night meant to be festive.
As the glare of Hollywood and royal expectations collide, the Sussexes’ struggle for acceptance within these exclusive spheres is more public—and more complicated—than ever.
