Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, is back on Instagram with moody video post

Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, started the new year with her first Instagram account since 2020.

Her first post is a black and white video of herself at the beach, wearing white and drawing 2025 in the sand on an overcast day. The @meghan account already has nearly 500,000 followers.

Meghan and Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, were married in 2018, and were initially part of @KensingtonRoyal, which also included Harry’s brother, Prince William, and his wife, Kate, the Princess of Wales.

But a year later, Meghan and Harry launched their own account, @SussexRoyal, a sign of their growing distance from the royal family. @SussexRoyal was discontinued in 2020, around the time that Meghan and Harry announced they were stepping back from their official roles.

Meghan, who had a popular Instagram account when she was best known for her role in TV drama Suits, had indicated she would return. In a 2022 interview with New York Magazine’s The Cut, she confided: “Do you want to know a secret? I’m getting back … on Instagram.”
