Meghan Markle’s reality TV friendship ‘killed’ Harry

The renewed relationship comes after what was widely seen as a rift in Markle and Jenner’s relationship following the so-called ‘photogate’ incident late last year.

Images of the Sussexes at Jenner’s lavish Bond-themed birthday celebration were removed from social media shortly after they were posted, reportedly at the couple’s request due to the timing of Britain’s Remembrance Day.

The decision received criticism, including from Kim Kardashian, who described the issue as “so crazy and ridiculous”.

Despite the episode, sources say Markle has been working to repair relations with the Kardashian clan, viewing Jenner as a valuable ally in Hollywood.

“Meghan views Kris as a powerful and highly strategic figure who understands exactly how to build and maintain influence,” an insider claimed.

“She recognizes the value of having someone with that level of experience and visibility firmly in her corner, especially at a time when some of her other high-profile connections have become more distant.”

The source added: “Public support from someone like Kris is hugely important in entertainment and influencer circles, and Meghan sees it as not only supportive, but essential to keeping the momentum going. In her eyes, it’s the kind of alliance that can open doors, shape perception and strengthen her position in an increasingly competitive space.”
