Overview
- Speaking on Khloé Kardashian’s podcast released Jan. 28–29, Kim said the Kris Jenner birthday photos were taken down after the Sussexes reconsidered the timing tied to Remembrance Day.
- Kim said they had received permission to post initially, but later removed the images out of respect, noting the couple felt charity photos from the Baby2Baby gala were acceptable while party shots were not.
- The images, originally shared by Kim and Kris after Jenner’s James Bond–themed 70th at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s Beverly Hills home, were deleted days later and the episode was dubbed “Photogate.”
- Conflicting earlier reports about consent procedures remain unresolved, with sources disagreeing over whether any photo-consent forms existed at the event.
- Outlets contacted representatives for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex for comment, with at least one declining to comment, and Kim criticized the furor as “crazy and ridiculous,” even joking about a SKIMS parody campaign.
