Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Join Kris Jenner’s Bond-Inspired 70th Birthday Celebration

If glamour had a postcode, it would’ve been Beverly Hills last Saturday night—where Kris Jenner celebrated her 70th birthday with the kind of cinematic flair only the “momager” of modern pop culture could pull off. The soirée, hosted at Jeff Bezos’ sprawling mansion, was steeped in Bond-level opulence, complete with a guest list that blurred the lines between monarchy and moguldom.

Among the elite in attendance were the Duke and Duchess of Sussex—Prince Harry and Meghan Markle—who arrived hand-in-hand, their presence causing a quiet ripple of intrigue across the room. Meghan, 44, epitomized understated luxury in a long-sleeved black top paired with a floor-grazing skirt and peep-toe heels, her look softened by a velvet purse and drop earrings that shimmered like secrets under chandelier light. Prince Harry, 41, looked equally debonair in a tuxedo and bow tie, his poppy pin adding a note of remembrance amid the revelry.

“They arrived hand-in-hand and looked very happy,” shared a guest from inside the celebration. “Meghan was glowing.”

It’s not the first time the Duchess has crossed fashionable paths with the Kardashian-Jenner clan. Earlier this year, she sent the family a thoughtful delivery from her lifestyle label, As Ever—a curated selection of rosé, jams, honey, and crepe mixes that seemed to whisper Meghan’s signature blend of refinement and warmth. Kris, ever the gracious recipient, posted her thanks on Instagram, calling out Meghan and her brand with a series of heart emojis.

Khloé Kardashian, too, received her own As Ever basket—a pastoral arrangement of flowers, wine, and produce that felt more English countryside than Calabasas.

The night itself was a study in cultural crossover: a royal couple mingling with Hollywood’s first family, surrounded by a constellation of global names—Mariah Carey, Oprah Winfrey, Gayle King, Martha Stewart, Snoop Dogg, Mark Zuckerberg, and even Bill Gates. Kris’ partner Corey Gamble and daughters Kim, Kendall, and Kylie added their own shine to the affair, each perfectly embodying the night’s sleek, espionage-inspired dress code.

If Bond films teach us anything, it’s that the real story always happens between the glamour and the glances. And on this night, Meghan and Harry seemed right at home in that world—where elegance, power, and quiet self-assurance do all the talking.
