Netflix ordered Getty to remove photos of Meghan and Harry.
What Are They Hiding? Meghan and Harry’s Netflix Photos Vanish Without a Trace
Amid Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's ‘royal-style’ Australia visit, which has already sparked controversy, a new question has surfaced concerning the couple. Reportedly, numerous photos of them from a recent Netflix event have surprisingly disappeared from online sites.
The couple attended the high-profile event at Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos’ party in Montecito, California, for the popular series BEEF's season 2 tastemaker event on April 10. The images were initially available via major photo agencies, including Getty Images. However, according to a Page Six report, many of these photos were later removed.
After the pictures of the couple were mysteriously removed, people are questioning the decision. The move has also caught the attention of the fans who were left questioning what transpired at the Montecito event.

Pictures were removed at Netflix's request
A spokesperson for Getty, while speaking to Page Six, revealed that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's images from the event were removed at Netflix's request. Last week, several photos from the event were added to Getty Images, which offers stock images and event photography to news organizations globally.
For the party, Markle was dressed in a beautiful lime green chartreuse dress by Heidi Merrick and Jimmy Choo shoes. She was also seen cozying up to Nicole Avant, Ted Sarandos's wife. Prince Harry was also present, taking pictures with the high-profile faces, reports The Blast.
However, now, only one photo of Meghan and Harry is left on Getty. In that photo, the royal couple can be seen posing with Ted and Nicole. Meghan is also visible in the background of a wide-angle scene.
Photos of the other celebs, such as BEEF season 2 cast members Oscar Isaac, Carey Mulligan, and Charles Melton, along with the new pair Katy Perry-Justin Trudeau, are still available on Getty, but Harry and Meghan's photos have been taken down.
According to Page Six, the photos were requested to be removed the morning after the event due to concerns over image quality and approval issues.
Only one wide angle shot photo of Meghan and Harry is left, while other photos have been deleted.
Not the first time Harry and Meghan's images were removed
This is not the first time pictures of the Sussexes have vanished. Last year, at Kris Jenner's birthday celebration at Jeff Bezos' home, the pair made their presence known. They posed with Jenner and Kim Kardashian, who also posted many photos from the birthday online. Jenner shared a photo of herself with the royal couple on Instagram, and Kim shared a photo of herself and Meghan smiling together.
While no official explanation was provided initially, a source later informed People magazine that "there were no consent forms" for the release of photos.
Moreover, while explanations have since surfaced, this incident itself has sparked wider doubts regarding Netflix's relationship with the couple. This happened after Variety revealed that Netflix was "done" with the couple. Despite the claim, both Meghan and Netflix's team denied the rumors.
