Meghan Markle and Prince Harry rubbed shoulders with Hollywood A-listers over the weekend when they attended Kris Jenner’s 70th birthday party.

The couple were seen walking into the lavish party which had guests dress up for the James Bond theme.

The bash was taking place at Jeff Bezos’ mansion complex in Beverly Hills, LA, in honour of the matriarch of the Kardashian family.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle attend Kris Jenner’s birthday party

Many celebrity guests were on the exclusive list, from Bill Gates and Justin Bieber to fellow Brit Adele.

The party had a luxurious setting at Amazon founder Jeff Bezos’ £125 mansion.

Kris Jenner’s birthday party had a James Bond theme, too, and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle dressed up for the occasion.

The 41-year-old duke sported a classic black tuxedo with a white shirt. Meghan, on the other hand, opted for a long-sleeved black turtleneck top, and a black maxi skirt that had a high thigh split.

Harry wore a red poppy on his suit in honour of Remembrance Sunday and followed other royals who tend to do this for public appearances in early November.

The Duchess of Sussex didn’t wear a poppy, but wore her hair slicked back with sparkly earrings, and held a black clutch bag.

Harry’s link to the Kardashians before meeting Meghan

The couple are no strangers to the famous family and their empire. Harry was reportedly almost set up with the eldest of the daughters – Kourtney – before meeting and falling in love with actress Meghan.

Katherine Ryan, a Canadian comedian who moved to the UK, says she suggested Kourtney should start courting the duke instead.

It was back in 2016, when the Lemme founder was in her on and off again relationship with Scott Disick. The Kardashians star had entered a party thrown by Jimmy Carr and was seen talking to Princess Beatrice. This is where the comedian struck up a conversation.

Katherine told Kourtney to leave her boyfriend and to date Prince Harry instead.

“Prince Harry, maybe? She was right there in the UK,” Katherine quipped. “It seemed obvious.”

Meghan Markle and the Kardashian ‘drama’

While there is talk in Tinsel Town that Meghan has her own duchess drama with Kim Kardashian.

It stems from reports the Sussex business owner is ‘determined’ to work with the famous family.

However, they’ve barely rubbed shoulders – until now. It’s said Kim previously snubbed opportunities to work with the royal.

Despite no official collabs, Meghan did send Kris some of her As Ever jam launch when the company began trading earlier this year. The Momager even shared snaps of the PR basket she received on social media.

And it surely must have worked as Harry and Meghan both received an invitation to Kris Jenner’s birthday party months later.
