Kim Kardashian is finally speaking out about the Prince Harry and Meghan Markle photo controversy.
Back in November, the Kardashian family held an incredibly lavish celebration for matriarch Kris Jenner's 70th birthday. The star-studded event was attended by a slew of big-name stars, including Harry and Markle.
Following the celebration, many photos from the party were shared on social media, some of which Jenner posted to her own Instagram page.
Curiously, Jenner would later delete images that featured Prince Harry and Markle. This sparked rumors that there may be some sort of drama unfolding between the royal couple and the Kardashian clan.
Now, Kim is setting the record straight about why the photos were deleted, making it clear that the whole thing wasn't as serious as it was made out to be.
“It was really innocent, which is so crazy,” she said, while speaking to her sister Khloé Kardashian on an episode of Khloé In Wonder Land.
“Mom and Meghan have been friends for some years now, and they have a really sweet relationship,” she went on.
Kim stated that she and her mother initially thought that it would be okay to post photos of the royal couple online.
“We were told that it was totally cool to post. And then after it was posted, I think they realized it was Remembrance Day, and they didn’t want to be seen at a party, even though it’s already up, you know, and then taken down,” Kim explained.
Remembrance Day, which is held on November 11 in the United Kingdom, is intended to be a day to honor those in the armed forces who have lost their lives in the line of duty.
Kim noted that the couple had been photographed at another event that same night. It was a gala fundraiser for Baby2Baby, a non-profit organization that helps to provide diapers for children in need.
While it may have been seen as permissible for Harry and Markle to have been spotted at the gala, "partying and dancing on the dance floor" at Jenner's birthday bash was maybe a step too far, Kim acknowledged.
“So we took them down to respect Remembrance Day,” she said.
