Meghan Markle has made her first solo appearance on social media by posting a video on her personal Instagram, sparking speculation about her future with Prince Harry amid ongoing separation rumors. The Duchess of Sussex returned to social media seven years after deactivating her original accounts following her marriage to the Duke of Sussex.
The move has fueled discussions about the couple’s relationship, with some interpreting it as a potential sign that Meghan and Harry may have experienced a “professional split” in terms of their careers. The new Instagram account, with the simple handle ‘Meghan,’ features one post: a video reel of Meghan running along the beach, which has quickly generated buzz due to her solo appearance.
The account, which has not yet been verified with a blue tick, shows Meghan bending over to write “2025” in the sand. She is heard laughing and dusting off her hands before running past the camera, with no sign of Prince Harry in the video, although he is reportedly the one filming it.
Meghan’s return to Instagram is significant, as she has been outspoken about her life after stepping down as a senior working royal and moving to the United States in 2020. The video’s release comes at a time when the royal family’s response to Meghan’s activities has remained closely watched.
The comments section on the post has been disabled, but “Meghan’s account” already has gained over 700,000 followers within hours of the video going live. It is worth noting that Meghan had deactivated her Instagram, Twitter (X), Facebook accounts, and her lifestyle blog, The Tig, before joining the royal family in 2018.
Her return to the platform marks a departure from the more private, family-focused life she and Harry have led since stepping away from royal duties. As speculation grows around the couple’s relationship and professional future, Meghan’s independent social media presence will no doubt continue to capture attention.
