Kim Kardashianis revealing why photos ofMeghan MarkleandPrince Harrywere removed from her andKris Jennersocial media posts celebrating Jenner's 70th birthday party in November.
Speaking on her sister Khloe Kardashian's podcast, Kim addressed the headline-making move for the first time.
"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."
Kim continued that they were going through photos and deciding which ones to post.
"We were told that it was totally cool to post," Kim said. "And then after it was posted, I think they realized it was Remembrance Day, and they didn't want to be seen at a party, even though it's already up, you know, and then taken down. And then I think they realized, like, 'Oh, this was so silly.' "
She added that although they had been seen at theBaby2Baby Galathe same night, "that was fine, but maybe not partying and dancing on the dance floor or whatever."
"So we took them down to respect Remembrance Day," Kim said.
The U.K. holiday, held annually in November, honors members of the armed forces who died in service. Members of the British royal family traditionally take part in a number of solemn events to honor their sacrifices. Jenner's birthday bash was held on Saturday night before the royals gathered at The Cenotaph memorial in London for the annual service the following morning.

Kim continued, "You got to laugh at, like, the situation sometimes and just, like, lighten it up and be if everyone's taking it the wrong way, like, lean in. I was like, 'We should do a full Skims campaign.' Take the photo — even just us, like, I'll shoot you at mom, you know, post it and then delete it, like, 30 minutes later. And then say, 'Oh, sorry, I didn't have permission to post those photos for the campaign.' "
"If we just made it light and made it funny, you know, I think it would have been, like, received differently, but I hated how that was received for everyone," Kim said. "That sucks. It was just made into something that was so crazy and ridiculous that just didn't have to be."
