It is the first time Meghan was seen on Instagram after being absent on social media for three years.
Meghan and Harry were forced to bid goodbye to their 11 million followers on their joint SussexRoyal account back in 2020.
The former Suits actress shut down her individual social media profiles - including her Instagram page with 3 million followers - after getting engaged to Prince Harry.
The Duchess' apparent online revival comes after she has remained largely invisible since the publication of Harry's explosive memoir Spare.

Clevr Blends is based in California where Meghan and hubby Harry now live.
Meghan, 41, first announced she was backing the "wellness brand" back in December 2020.
In the latest footage, Clevr founder Hannah Mendoza discussed how the coffee brand had grown.
Meghan ended her online hiatus and was seen in clips as she paid a visit to the company and drank one of the lattes.

Speaking about Hannah, Meghan said: "This investment is in support of a passionate female entrepreneur who prioritizes building community alongside her business.
"I'm proud to invest in Hannah's commitment to sourcing ethical ingredients and creating a product that I personally love and has a holistic approach to wellness.
"I believe in her and I believe in her company."
The Duchess was dressed in her Burberry ‘Maythorne’ silk trench coat, a white Ralph Lauren shirt and a pair of dark jeans.
She also wore gold jewellery on her arms as well as her Logan Hollowell ‘Baby Queen’ Water Drop Emerald Solitaire Necklace.
Hannah, who started the company in 2016, said: "Three years ago, everything changed. None other than Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, had started drinking our lattes.
"Not only did she love the product but she was extremely passionate about female founders and sustainable sourcing.
"Meghan even sent our turmeric latte to friends. A few days later, I open my phone to see Oprah herself making our superlatte in our kitchen."
It was previously revealed that Meghan invested in Clevr blends which bought nearly 19 tons of oat milk powder from a company in Urmqi, the capital of Xinjiang.
However, it is unclear just how much money Meghan pumped into the company which sells latte powders in matcha, chai and coffee flavours.
Meghan's appearance in the video marks a return to public life after recently being mocked on an episode of South Park.
The comedy shows the characters, who are clearly based on the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, moving to the fictional town in a bid for privacy.
In the controversial show, the pair are seen promoting the prince’s book ‘Waaagh’ which resembles Harry’s book ‘Spare’ before embarking on a worldwide “we want privacy” tour - before moving to South Park.
It comes after it was claimed Harry and Meghan Markle have not yet decided if they will attend the King's coronation.

Harry is understood not to have had any contact with either since the release of his divisive memoir Spare last month.
The couple are said to fear the atmosphere will be as "toxic" as it was during the Queen's Platinum Jubilee and funeral.
