Meghan Markle Returns to Instagram After Royal Exit

Meghan Markle is kicking off 2025 by beginning a new chapter on social media.

On Wednesday, January 1, the Duchess of Sussex, 43, launched her very own Instagram account under the username @meghan to connect with fans around the world and share updates on her latest projects. Her debut post was filmed by her husband, Prince Harry, near the pair’s home in Montecito, California.

Meghan’s return to Instagram comes nearly five years after the final post on her and Harry’s joint page, @sussexroyal, was shared. “Thank you to this community — for the support, the inspiration and the shared commitment to the good in the world. Harry & Meghan,” the couple wrote in March 2020.

In the post’s caption, the duo added: “While you may not see us here, the work continues. … We look forward to reconnecting with you soon. You’ve been great! Until then, please take good care of yourselves, and of one another.”

This is an ongoing story.
