The publication said they've reached out to Harry and Markle’s rep for comment but did not immediately hear back.

“Coming from the VC and tech industries, she’s used to so many things going on at all times,” the insider said."

The photo controversy with the Kardashians started when the royal couple was invited to attend the star-studded birthday bash of Kris Jenner, where they posed for pictures with numerous celebrities including Kim Kardashian.

Following the party,  Kris Jenner and Kim Kardashian shared their photos with Harry and Meghan on Instagram, and then deleted them without offering any explanation.

This led to speculation among fans, with some saying the royal couple requested Kris and her daughter to delete the photos.

Multiple reports suggested that Kris and Kim were annoyed at the Duke and Duchess of Sussex for overshadowing the birthday party.

However, it was Meredith Maines who had to bear the brunt of what ensued.
