Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, surprised many people when she rejoined Instagram on New Year’s Day. The former actress was last active on the social media site several years ago. Here is all we know about Meghan Markle’s return to Instagram.

Markle’s return to Instagram comes almost five years after she and Harry made a final post on their joint page, @sussexroyal. “Thank you to this community — for the support, the inspiration and the shared commitment to the good in the world. Harry & Meghan,” the couple said in March 2020.

Meghan Markle has made a dramatic return to Instagram under the handle @meghan, amassing more than 650,000 followers within 24 hours but the move could be motivated by an upcoming setback for the Sussexes according to a royal commentator.
