Meghan Markle Reenters Social Media with New Year Post
Meghan Markle has reactivated her Instagram account, marking her return to social media after a hiatus that began in 2020. The Duchess of Sussex greeted the new year with an engaging video, offering fans a rare look into her personal life.
In her 30-second video, shared on January 1, Markle, who is now 43, is seen joyfully running along the beach near her home in Montecito, California, wearing a white linen shirt and matching pants. The video, filmed by her husband Prince Harry, captures a candid moment as Markle playfully writes “2025” in the sand.
Her post quickly gained traction, attracting over 400,000 followers within hours of its release. The Duchess did not include a caption, letting the visuals speak for themselves. For viewers keen to see the post, it can be accessed here.
Markle’s social media journey began alongside Prince Harry when they were part of the @KensingtonRoyal Instagram account, which included other royal figures. After a year of marriage, they launched their own account, @SussexRoyal, which was discontinued following their decision to step back from royal duties and relocate to California.
Markle had hinted at a return to social media during a 2022 interview with The Cut, expressing her excitement about rejoining Instagram. “Do you want to know a secret? I’m getting back … on Instagram,” she remarked, signaling her intention to reconnect with followers.
Recently, Prince Harry addressed ongoing speculation about their marriage amid conversations surrounding their separate public appearances. Speaking at The New York Times Dealbook Summit 2024, he responded to questions about the couple’s individual engagements, stating that his presence at the event was due to the invitation, indicating that such arrangements were expected.
Harry addressed the media frenzy surrounding their relationship, remarking, “Apparently we’ve bought or moved houses 10, 12 times. We’ve apparently divorced maybe 10, 12 times as well,” showcasing the absurdity of the rumors that swirl around them.
He expressed concern about the intense scrutiny their marriage faces, noting that it is “definitely not a good thing,” and conveyed sympathy for those who propagate these rumors, suggesting that their expectations are often built up only to lead to disappointment.
The newfound activity on Markle’s Instagram comes at a time when both she and Harry navigate the complexities of fame and media scrutiny, re-establishing their connection with fans while presenting a unified front in their relationship.
