Kim Kardashian is explaining why she and her mom Kris Jenner deleted photos of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle at her mom’s birthday party late last year.

“It was really innocent, which is so crazy. Mom and Meghan have been friends for some years now, and they have a really sweet relationship,” Kim said on Khloe Kardashian‘s podcast, “Khloe in Wonder Land.”

“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. And then I think they realized, like, ‘Oh, this was so silly,’” she said.

Remembrance Day in the UK is a solemn occasion when the nation reflects to honor the courage and sacrifice of those who gave their lives in military service.

“So we took them down to respect Remembrance Day,” Kim added.

“You got to laugh at, like, the situation sometimes and just, like, lighten it up and be if everyone’s taking it the wrong way, like, lean in. I was like, ‘We should do a full Skims campaign.’ Take the photo — even just us, like, I’ll shoot you at mom, you know, post it and then delete it, like, 30 minutes later. And then I say, ‘Oh, sorry, I didn’t have permission to post those photos for the campaign.’ ”

“If we just made it light and made it funny, you know, I think it would have been, like, received differently, but I hated how that was received for everyone,” Kim said. “That sucks. It was just made into something that was so crazy and ridiculous that just didn’t have to be.”
