Has Meghan Markle relaunched her Instagram? Cryptic account appears ready for duchess’ ‘comeback’
MEGHAN Markle has reportedly relaunched her Instagram page in a bid to make a comeback online, sources claim.
A cryptic account has appeared on the social media app with the handle @Meghan - and it has already gained 30,000 followers.
It comes after Meghan - who celebrates her 42nd birthday today - revealed she was thinking of returning to social media last August.
She told The Cut: “Do you want to know a secret? I’m getting back…on Instagram.”
Before her marriage to Prince Harry, Meghan had regularly posted on social media and ran a lifestyle blog called The Tig.
And she posted pictures of pink peonies - her favourite flower - supposedly gifted to her by Prince Harry once they started dating.
She captioned the snap: “Swooning over these. #London #peonies #spoiledrotten”.
Once she joined the royal family, Meghan, Harry, Prince William and Kate Middleton posted on their shared Instagram, @KensingtonRoyal.
Then in April 2018, she and Harry launched their own Instagram handle @sussexroyal.
However, the couple shut it down shortly after they left the royal family in March 2020.
It comes as the Sussexes have been snubbed by the Royal Family in their commemorations marking a year since the Queen’s death.
They have not been invited despite being in Europe for the Invictus Games a day after the anniversary.
Prince Andrew, 63, and and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson will be among the royals mourning the late monarch next month.
Sources said there has been no “outreach” from senior royals to the US-based Sussexes, despite their planned appearance in Germany next month.
King Charles and Queen Camilla are expected to mark the poignant anniversary on September 8 at Balmoral surrounded by family.
Harry and Meghan, who quit Britain in 2020 and have since repeatedly slammed the Royal Family, are due to kick off the Invictus Games in Düsseldorf just 24 hours later.
