Kris Jenner poses with Prince Harry, Meghan Markle in birthday photo
Kris Jenner turned 70 earlier this month, celebrating with a lavish James Bond-themed party hosted by Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez in Beverly Hills.
Now, the Kardashian-Jenner matriarch took to Instagram on Monday, Kris posted a carousel of photos from her birthday celebration.
While the photos showed A-list celebrity guests from the party, the second picture was of Kris posing with none other than Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex joined Kris’ star-studded celebration with the picture showing the momager standing between the royal couple.
As per US Magazine, the royal couple showed “they’re Hollywood royalty as well with a spot on the star-studded guest list.”
The party included guests like Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, Oprah, Justin Bieber, and Paris Hilton.
Fans and followers also reacted to the Sussexes posing with Kris Jenner in the comments section.
One wrote, “Meghan and Harry? OMG.”
Another added, “To have the top 1% gathering at @krisjenner Casino Royale birthday says a lot about her influence and power.”
Following Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s appearance at the key event, body language expert Judi James took a look at the Duchess of Sussex’s behaviour.
She told DailyMail, “A cut-off ritual like the lowered and hidden eyes suggests a coy lack of need to perform for the cameras, and it implies an assumption of rabid press interest rather than a courting of it.”
Adding, “But Meghan also performs a smile of utter delight here. Her cheeks are rounded, and her lips are hiked up high at the corners to create a symmetric shape.”
“A smile like this will be an acknowledgement to the fans and the cameras, but without any posing effort or showboating,” Judi noted.
For Oscar-winning composer Ludwig Goransson, creating the score for “Sinners” was a challenge, explaining he had to find his “voice within the blues.” He describes his unlikely personal connection to the music and how he met the film’s director.

Bobby J. Brown, “The Wire” and “Law & Order: SUV” actor, dies of smoke inhalation after reported fire
Bobby J. Brown, who was best known for playing a Baltimore police officer in HBO’s “The Wire,” has died at 62.
His agent, Albert Bramante, confirmed the news of Brown’s passing in a statement to CBS News. He did not give a cause of death.
“Bobby J. Brown was an actor of incredible depth and a man of great character. Whether in the boxing ring or on a film set, he brought a unique authenticity and dedication to everything he did,” Bramante said. “His passing is a significant loss to the acting community, and he will be deeply missed by all of us at the agency. We ask for the privacy of his family to be respected during this unimaginably difficult time.”
Brown’s daughter told TMZ the actor died Tuesday of smoke inhalation after being caught in a barn fire. The Maryland Medical Examiner’s Office told CBS News Brown’s cause of death was diffuse thermal injury and smoke inhalation, and that it was an accident.
According to Brown’s daughter, a fire broke out when the actor attempted to jump-start a vehicle in the barn, TMZ reported.
Brown was born in Washington, D.C., and began his career as an amateur boxer, with a 73-13 record that included five Golden Glove Championships. Three of those bouts included three fights against Pernell “Sweet Pea” Whitaker, who went on to become one of the greatest lightweight champions in boxing history. Brown went on to train with Carmen Graziano and boxed professionally in Atlantic City, N.J., which led to an acting gig alongside Mickey Rourke in 1988’s “Homeboy,” according to IMDb.
Brown studied at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York and made his TV debut in an episode of “Homicide: Life on the Street.” In the early 2000s, he appeared in “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit,” “The Corner,” and movies “Love the Hard Way” and “City by the Sea.”
His breakout role was as Officer Bobby Brown on HBO’s “The Wire.” He appeared in a total of 12 episodes across four seasons.
Brown also directed two documentary films: “Tear the Roof Off: The Untold Story of Parliament-Funkadelic” in 2016 and “Off the Chain” in 2006.
