Why This Picture Of Meghan Markle Was Removed From Social Media

Royal fans were sent into a tizzy last week when a photobooth shot of Meghan Markle at the British Fashion Awards was deleted from social media.

Many speculated why the GIF of the Duchess of Sussex posing with Givenchy's Clare Waight Keller and actress Rosamund Pike had been removed from Instagram.

It was even taken off photographer Yvan Fabing's profile, sparking rumours the instruction had come from Meghan or the 'Firm' itself.

But now it has been revealed why the Boomerang, taken backstage at the Royal Albert Hall, vanished and it may have had something to do with her nail polish.


A royal source told the Mail on Sunday: "There was something ostentatious in the way she was posed holding her bump, plus she was wearing dark nail varnish that the Queen hates.

"It wouldn’t be surprising if, aware of that, the duchess herself asked for it to be taken down."

After the down-to-earth GIF was removed, a picture of Meghan addressing the crowd was posted to the awards' account.
