Meghan Markle Returns to Instagram with Heartwarming New Year’s Post
The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, made a surprise return to Instagram on January 1, sharing a touching video that offered a rare glimpse into her private life. The 43-year-old royal had been inactive on the platform since 2020, when she and Prince Harry stepped back from their senior royal responsibilities.
A New Beginning
Markle’s 30-second clip, captured by Prince Harry, showed her running down a beach near her Montecito, California home, wearing a white linen shirt and pants. She drew “2025” in the sand before giggling and running through the frame. The post quickly amassed over 400,000 followers and marked a new beginning for the Duchess on the social media platform.
A Brief History
Initially, Markle and Harry were part of the @KensingtonRoyal Instagram account, which also included Prince William and Kate Middleton. In 2019, they launched their own @SussexRoyal account, which was discontinued in 2020 when they stepped down from their royal roles and moved to California.
Teasing a Comeback
In a 2022 conversation with “The Cut,” Markle hinted at a possible return to Instagram, saying “Do you want to know a secret? I’m getting back … on Instagram.” Her comeback post has sparked excitement among fans and followers, who are eager to see more glimpses into her life.
Addressing Speculation
Prince Harry recently addressed speculation surrounding their marriage, stating that rumors about their relationship are “definitely not a good thing.” He acknowledged that the constant attention can be challenging, but emphasized that he and Markle are focused on their family and ignore the negativity.
