Meghan Markle returns to Instagram solo, leaving behind her joint account with Prince Harry. The Duchess starts 2025 with a new chapter on social media.
Meghan Markle has surprised the world by returning to Instagram with a new personal account, @meghan, without the presence of her husband, Prince Harry. This marks her first post on social media since she closed her joint account, @sussexroyal, in March 2020.
In her first video, filmed by Prince Harry himself, Meghan is seen running along a beach in Montecito, California, where they live with their children, Archie and Lilibet. During the video, she writes “2025” in the sand, symbolizing a new beginning for the upcoming year.
This move by Meghan is interpreted as a desire to reconnect with global communities and share updates on her personal projects. Before her marriage to Prince Harry, Meghan had an Instagram account with three million followers and a successful lifestyle blog called ‘The Tig’, both of which were closed in 2017.
The Duchess of Sussex has expressed her excitement about using social media in a positive way, demonstrating the potential of these platforms to foster meaningful connections. Her return to Instagram marks a new chapter in her public life, moving away from her role as a member of the royal family and focusing on her own projects and causes.
This return to social media has generated widespread media coverage and speculation about Meghan’s next steps in her career and personal life. Fans are eagerly awaiting future posts and projects that the Duchess will share on her new platform.
