Meghan Markle mixed business with pleasure at Kris Jenner’s star-studded 70th birthday party. “She was definitely in networking mode,” an insider told Page Six Monday. “She schmoozed with a lot of power players,” the source added, describing the Duchess of Sussex, 44, as “cool.” Reps for Markle, 44, weren’t immediately available to Page Six for comment. Jenner hosted a milestone James Bond-themed birthday bash at Amazon founder Jeff Bezos’ $175 million Beverly Hills, Calif., estate on Saturday. Among the A-list attendees were Bezos’ wife, Lauren Sánchez, Mariah Carey, Justin Bieber, Hailey Bieber, Oprah Winfrey, Tina Knowles, Kyle Richards, Kathy Hilton, Vin Diesel, Gayle King and Rita Wilson. Beyoncé and Jay-Z also made a low-key appearance, avoiding paparazzi by entering the party through a secret entrance. Markle and her husband, Prince Harry, 44, appeared in good spirits as they held hands and smiled upon arriving at the extravaganza. The “Suits” alum donned a black long-sleeved top and matching maxi skirt, while the Duke of Sussex sported a tuxedo and bow tie. Inside, Markle was seen posing alongside Kim Kardashian in since-deleted snaps shared on the latter’s Instagram account. Additionally, Jenner posted sweet photos alongside Harry and Meghan, though she also removed them from her social media. One showed the threesome laughing and dancing, while they generically posed for photographers in a second snap. It’s unclear why the SKIMS founder and momager removed the pictures, and their reps weren’t immediately available to Page Six for comment. Palace insiders told Page Six that the royal family was shocked at Markle and Harry’s appearance at Jenner’s bash. According to our sources, their attendance “shows that Harry is so far removed from the rest of the family.”
