Kim Kardashian withdrew a level from her “Hollywood” smartphone game on Tuesday night, after being accused of profiting off Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s departure from the British royal family.

A new level, Royal Runaways, was just introduced to the game, and it features a royal couple, Prince Aston and Princess Bianca, who abandon royal life after giving a televised interview in which the Princess states the royal family has been “unwelcoming” to her.

They also clashed with the Queen after feeling unwelcome in the family.

“Prince Aston has done everything in his power to welcome me into the Royal Family,” she says.

“Unfortunately, I can’t say the same about everyone in his family.”

“The Queen is a symbol of tradition, but as times change, perhaps some traditions become outdated.”

Later in the level, Bianca invites the player to dine with the Queen, claiming that the interview “shook the crown a little bit.” “I suppose you’re quite proud of yourself digging into my family’s business on television,” the Queen says to the player at the supper.

Bianca then declares, “After much contemplation and deliberation my husband and I have decided to . . . LEAVE the Royal Family.” Aston adds to the announcement that “there is nothing I wouldn’t do to ensure my wife’s happiness.”

 

Users on Twitter swiftly pointed out the similarities between the characters – Princess Bianca and Prince Aston – and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, triggering an outpouring of rage at Kim and the game makers.

According to a source close to the reality TV star, she was unaware of the tale until Tuesday and “immediately took steps to ensure it was taken down.”

“She is disappointed that this happened and has requested an internal investigation to ensure that this misstep doesn’t happen again,” the insider continued.

The game’s creators, Glu Mobile, have also responded to the controversy. “We heard a lot of valuable feedback around our recent Prince Aston and Princess Bianca quest. It’s clear we missed the mark with this, and we sincerely apologize,” a spokesman said.

“We did not intend to direct any negativity towards any particular person or groups of people. The content is no longer live in the game.”

In 2014, the 40-year-old debuted her famous game. In it, players try to build their reputation by acquiring fans in order to become A-List celebrities.

Modeling, acting, club appearances, and going on dates can help players get more followers. Although the game is free to play, in-game money and “K-Stars” which may be used to purchase apparel, accessories, or energy, may be purchased for a cost.

Harry and Meghan spoke out about the relocation away from Britain earlier this year in a shocking interview with Oprah Winfrey. Meghan stated she suffered from mental health concerns and suicidal thoughts, which she said were ignored by the Royal Family.

She also stated that a member of ‘the firm,’ the family’s highest ranked relatives, expressed worry over Archie’s skin color.
