Kim Kardashian’s mobile video game dropped a new section that was seemingly heavily inspired by "Megxit" following backlash from users.
The reality TV star and business mogul lends her name to the mobile video game "Hollywood," which Fox News can confirm recently reversed an update that introduced the "Royal Runaways" section that featured a red-haired Prince Aston and his dark-skinned actress wife, Princess Bianca.
The mobile game followed their journey as they both left the royal family and gave a tell-all interview about the royals that was unflattering to the monarchy.

It didn’t take long for users to realize that the game was clearly referencing Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s infamous real-life split with the royals, as well as their tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey in which they caught backlash for speaking unfavorably about the family.
Glu Mobile, which produces the game, confirmed to Fox News that it removed the segment in response to feedback.

"We heard a lot of valuable feedback around our recent Prince Aston and Princess Bianca quest," the developer said in a statement. "It’s clear we missed the mark with this, and we sincerely apologize. 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."
A source close to the "Keeping up with the Kardashians" star said she was made aware of the storyline on Thursday and immediately took steps to ensure it was taken down.
