Her inaugural post is a\u00a0<strong>black and white video<\/strong>\u00a0showing her running on a beach, writing &#8220;2025&#8221; in the sand, a gesture symbolizing a new beginning. The video is believed to have been filmed by her husband,\u00a0<strong>Prince Harry<\/strong>, at a public beach near their home in Montecito, California[2][3][4].This return comes nearly\u00a0<strong>five years after Meghan and Prince Harry stepped down from their senior roles in the British royal family<\/strong>\u00a0and discontinued their joint Instagram account, @SussexRoyal, in March 2020. Prior to her marriage, Meghan had a popular Instagram account where she shared aspects of her life, including her home, travels, and food, but she shut it down in January 2018 as she prepared to join the royal family[2][3][4].In an\u00a0<strong>August 2022 interview with The Cut<\/strong>, Meghan hinted at her return to Instagram, saying, &#8220;Do you want to know a secret? I\u2019m getting back \u2026 on Instagram.&#8221; However, she had also expressed concerns about online harassment, having been the most trolled person in the world in 2019[1][3][4].Despite these concerns, Meghan&#8217;s return to Instagram is part of her and Prince Harry&#8217;s ongoing efforts to\u00a0<strong>advocate for safer online spaces<\/strong>\u00a0and to share moments of joy and inspiration from their lives. The account has already garnered over\u00a0<strong>200,000 followers<\/strong>\u00a0since its activation[1][2][4].In addition to her personal Instagram, Meghan has also launched an Instagram account for her lifestyle brand,\u00a0<strong>American Riviera Orchard<\/strong>, in March 2024, although that account has not been actively used for personal posts[<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a significant move to kick off the new year,\u00a0Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has rejoined Instagram\u00a0with her own&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4188,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4187","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tips"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.9 -
