Kim Kardashian, an American supermodel, was recently accused of taking advantage of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s royal departure to line her own pockets.
The reality TV personality and business tycoon lends her name to the mobile video game “Hollywood,” which Fox News can confirm recently reversed an update that added a “Royal Runaways” segment featuring a red-haired Prince Aston and his dark-skinned actress bride, Princess Bianca.
Kim, as you may recall, launched the mobile app game in 2014.
Though the project is virtually forgotten these days, it is still a source of income for Kim, and somewhere, coders are continually upgrading the game and delivering relevant new tales.
One of the new plots is on a couple who is clearly modeled after Harry and Meghan.
Yes, the parallels between the Sussexes and “Aston and Bianca” are evident – and clearly deliberate.
The public, on the other hand, is dissatisfied with Kim’s use of Harry and Meghan’s personal life to make money.
One internet user told The Sun: “The two characters are obviously based on Meghan and Harry. The Queen speaks quite rudely in it. It’s in poor taste considering everything she has been through recently.”
Kim, 40, is believed to have been unaware of the change and requested that it be removed once she was informed.
“We heard a lot of valuable feedback around our recent Prince Aston and Princess Bianca quest,” a spokeswoman told DailyMail.com. “It’s clear we missed the mark with this, and we sincerely apologise. 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.”
“She is disappointed that this happened and has requested an internal investigation to ensure that this misstep doesn’t happen again,” a person close to the incident told Page Six.
The game’s creator, Glu Mobile, acknowledged to Fox News that the part was deleted in response to user complaint.
Many royal family supporters were outraged with the chunk of the game which was omitted. They believed it cast a bad light on everyone except Prince Aston and Princess Bianca.
