Hollywood and royal watchers, brace yourselves! Kris Jenner and Meghan Markle are putting the 'Photogate' scandal behind them in style. It all started when Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, sent a heartwarming Mother's Day gift to the iconic momager, Kris Jenner. This comes months after the buzz-worthy 'Photogate' incident at Jenner's glam 70th birthday bash last November.
The Duchess, known for her thoughtful gestures, sent Kris a delightful surprise from her 'As Ever' lifestyle brand. Jenner couldn't keep the excitement to herself and took to her Instagram Stories to thank Meghan for the "beautiful Mother's Day gifts," raving about how "delicious" the candles smelled. Alongside the fragrant treats were chocolates from As Ever's collab with chocolatier Compartes, adding a sweet touch to the thoughtful package.
“Dear Kris, Happy Mother’s Day to the most maternal woman in the world,” read Meghan’s handwritten card, signaling that the past drama is water under the bridge.
For those who need a refresher – last November, Kris Jenner threw a James Bond-themed bash that was the talk of the town. Meghan and Prince Harry graced the event, looking every bit the royal couple. However, the excitement took a turn when photos of them surfaced online, only to be swiftly deleted. Dubbed 'Photogate,' the incident sparked rumors of a royal rift, with whispers that the Sussexes had not consented to the public display.
Enter Kim Kardashian, who later clarified on sister Khloé's podcast that the whole matter was "really innocent." It turns out the Kardashian-Jenner clan meant no harm – they just wanted to avoid overshadowing Remembrance Day, a solemn occasion the British royal family observes every year.
It's crystal clear now that any bad blood between the Sussexes and the Kardashian-Jenners is ancient history. Meghan’s gift is a testament to the enduring friendship she shares with Kris. As Kim Kardashian put it, "Mom and Meghan have been friends for some years now, and they have a really sweet relationship."
This latest gesture isn't the first time Meghan has extended her As Ever goodies to Kris. Last August, Kris received Meghan’s exclusive rosé, and back in April 2024, she was among the select few to taste the brand's jam, signaling an ongoing bond built on thoughtful exchanges.
As the dust from 'Photogate' settles, fans can rest assured that the worlds of reality TV royalty and real-life royalty are harmoniously aligned.
