Meghan Markleis back on Instagram!
In addition to her first post, the @meghan account also updated its profile picture to a black-and-white shot of Meghan smiling and wearing white, though a different white look than in her first post.
After several years away from social media, a source says Meghan is “excited” to make her Instagram comeback, where she plans to spread “joy” and share updates on her latest projects.
The update comes over two years after Meghan hinted that she wasgetting back on Instagramin conversation withThe Cut.
“Do you want to know a secret?” she said in awide-ranging interviewpublished in August 2022. “I’m getting back… on Instagram.”
Although Meghan “would relay she was no longer sure she would actually return to Instagram” later in the interview, she’s maintained a presence on the platform in the past. Before she married Prince Harry in 2018, theSuitsstarhad 3 million followers on an Instagram account under her own name as well as lifestyle blogThe Tig.Sheshut downher beloved blog in April 2017, a few months before she and Harrygot engaged, and deleted hersocial media pagesthe following January.
“It was a big adjustment — a huge adjustment to go from that kind of autonomy to a different life,” she toldThe Cutof the transitionary time.
Meghan and Harry tied the knot in May 2018, and news about their royal work appeared on the @KensingtonRoyal accounts alongside updates aboutPrince WilliamandKate Middleton— but it came with strict rules.

“As we can all feel, the world at this moment seems extraordinarily fragile. Yet we are confident that every human being has the potential and opportunity to make a difference — as seen now across the globe, in our families, our communities and those on the front line — together we can lift each other up to realize the fullness of that promise,” Harry and Meghan began the caption of a graphic with a thank you message under their royal cypher.
