Jenner’s original post included a shot with Meghan and Harry, while Kardashian shared one of herself posing with Meghan.
A source told People that “Meghan was glowing in a black wrap-style dress that showed off one leg. She looked very glamorous and fit the theme perfectly. Harry looked sharp in a tuxedo with a poppy for Remembrance Day,” referring to the UK and Commonwealth symbol honoring fallen service members.
The Sussexes arrived “hand-in-hand and looked very happy,” according to the source, though their night out drew criticism for falling on the eve of Remembrance Sunday, one of the most solemn days on the royal family’s calendar.
Confused fans flocked to Reddit to question why the photos were deleted, with many pointing out the timing was awkward.
“It’s not a great look for them,” one user wrote. “Especially for Harry, whose family spent the day sombrely beginning Remembrance Day ceremonies.”
“Love that the Sussexes are gallivanting throughout LA while his family is performing their duty,” wrote another.
Others criticised the decision to delete the photos, arguing it only drew more attention.
“Bit late for that. It’s all over the internet,” said one commenter.
“Going and then scrambling to hide your attendance is the most cowardly thing I’ve ever heard.”
The high-profile guest list for Jenner’s milestone celebration included Justin and Hailey Bieber, Oprah Winfrey, Mariah Carey, Tyler Perry, Vin Diesel, Mark Zuckerberg, Adele, and Rich Paul, alongside Kim, Kourtney, Kendall, and Kylie Jenner, Travis Barker, Scott Disick, Tristan Thompson, and Jenner’s boyfriend, Corey Gamble.
Tech titans Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan also joined the festivities.
