Kris Jenner has publicly thanked Meghan Sussex for Mother’s Day gifts from As Ever, which is awkward timing for the tabloids currently insisting that Hollywood has collectively shoved the Duchess of Sussex out the door.

On May 6, Jenner shared an Instagram Story showing a Mother’s Day gift from Meghan’s lifestyle brand. The gift included As Ever candles, chocolates from Meghan’s collaboration with Los Angeles chocolatier Compartes, and a handwritten card. Jenner wrote: “Thank you @meghan @aseverofficial for the beautiful Mother’s Day gifts! These candles smell so delicious!! Happy Mother’s Day!!!”   So much for the great Kardashian-Jenner freeze-out.

For months, the tabloids have tried to turn the removal of Prince Harry and Meghan’s photos from Kris Jenner’s 70th birthday party posts into evidence of a dramatic Hollywood rift. The story was simple: Meghan and Harry were supposedly embarrassing, the Kardashians were distancing themselves, and another set of powerful people had allegedly decided the Sussexes were too much trouble. Except the public record keeps getting in the way.

Here’s what People reported:

Kris Jenner posted an Instagram Story on May 6 showing candles and chocolates from Meghan’s As Ever line, alongside a handwritten card that read: “Dear Kris, Happy Mother’s Day to the most maternal woman in the world.” Kris wrote: “Thank you @meghan @aseverofficial for the beautiful Mother’s Day gifts! These candles smell so delicious!! Happy Mother’s Day!!!”

Now, let’s rewind a bit. Back in November 2025, Kris threw a James Bond‑themed 70th birthday party at Jeff Bezos’s Beverly Hills mansion. Meghan and Harry attended. Kris and Kim posted photos that included the couple. Then, a short while later, those photos disappeared from social media.

Cue the tabloid apocalypse. “Rift!” “Feud!” “The Kardashians are done with Meghan!” “Hollywood has finally dumped her!” The usual suspects went into overdrive.

Except, as Kim Kardashian later explained on her sister Khloé’s podcast, the removal had nothing to do with any falling out. According to Kim, the photos were removed after the Remembrance Day timing became a concern. “It was really innocent, which is so crazy,” Kim said. “Mom and Meghan have been friends for some years now, and they have a really sweet relationship.”

@feminegra Kim Kardashian has cleared up the confusion around the photos of Prince Harry and Meghan Sussex, at Kris Jenner’s birthday. She says the images were shared with permission, then removed out of respect for Remembrance Day. What became “photo-gate,” Kim says, was an innocent moment that spiralled into something far bigger than it needed to be. #Prince Harry #meghanmarkle #kimkardashian #khloekardashian ♬ original sound – feminegra

But the tabloids didn’t let that get in the way of a good snub narrative. They kept running with “Photogate” as if it were proof of permanent exile.

And now? Kris Jenner publicly thanks Meghan for sending her Mother’s Day candles and chocolates. She tags the As Ever account and shares the handwritten note. She calls the gifts “beautiful” and “delicious.” So much for that feud.

Every alleged Meghan snub keeps ageing badly

This is the same pattern we have seen over and over. Tabloids claim Meghan has been dropped by Gwyneth Paltrow, then Gwyneth appears with her on an Instagram video, shutting down the feud rumours. They claim Netflix is done with the Sussexes, then Ted Sarandos and Nicole Avant are photographed embracing Meghan at a Montecito garden party. They claim Anna Wintour has frozen her out – then Meghan has a warm, very public interaction with Anna at Paris Fashion Week.

The formula is simple: invent a snub, ignore any evidence to the contrary, then quietly pivot to the next made‑up scandal when the real world contradicts you.

Kris Jenner’s Mother’s Day thank‑you should have been a nice, quiet moment of celebrity friendship. Instead, it becomes another data point in the long, wearying saga of “the press keeps telling us Meghan is isolated, and Meghan keeps living her life with perfectly normal friendships and professional relationships.”

Final thoughts

Look, we are not saying Meghan and Kris are having a weekly brunch. We are not saying this one Instagram Story proves she is the queen of Hollywood. But it does prove one thing: the “Kardashian‑Jenner fallout” narrative was always overblown. And the tabloids that sold you that story are now hoping you will not notice Kris Jenner literally typing “Thank you @meghan” for the whole world to see.

So go ahead, journotrolls. Keep writing your “snubbed” headlines. Keep spinning deleted photos into epic feuds. And while you are at it, keep pretending Meghan has no friends, no allies, no support.

Meanwhile, Kris Jenner will be over here, lighting her As Ever candle and smiling. The tabloids may call it a Hollywood snub, but Kris Jenner has called it a beautiful Mother’s Day gift. That tells you everything you need to know.
