Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, is ringing in the new year with a splash—she’s officially back on Instagram.
Her first post? A sleek black-and-white video of her strolling along a beach, dressed in white, drawing “2025” in the sand. The vibe is calm, cool, and contemplative—and her followers are already flocking to the page. The account has racked up over 200,000 followers in no time.
This marks Meghan’s first return to the platform since 2020, when she and Prince Harry stepped back from their royal roles. Back then, the couple shared updates through their joint account, @SussexRoyal, which they launched after parting ways with @KensingtonRoyal—the account they once shared with Prince William and Kate.
Before becoming a royal, Meghan had a thriving Instagram presence, especially during her time on the hit TV show Suits. Fans have been eagerly awaiting her comeback, and in a 2022 interview with The Cut, she even hinted it was on the horizon. “Do you want to know a secret?” she teased. “I’m getting back … on Instagram.”
Still, Meghan has been open about her complicated relationship with social media. She’s voiced concerns about harassment and, along with Harry, has advocated for stronger content moderation to protect mental health—especially for young people.
Now, with a fresh start and a polished aesthetic, Meghan’s return to Instagram signals a new chapter. Whether it’s personal updates, causes she’s passionate about, or just glimpses of her life, followers are clearly ready for what’s next.
