Years after saying goodbye to social media, Meghan Markle is returning to Instagram.
The Duchess of Sussex reintroduced herself to the platform on Wednesday with a new, simple social media handle: @meghan.
The royal’s first post was filmed by Prince Harry near the couple’s home in Montecito, California.
The Duchess of Sussex originally shut down all of her social media accounts in January 2018, just after getting engaged to Prince Harry.
“Ms. Markle is grateful to everyone who has followed her social media accounts over the years, however as she has not used them for some time she has taken the decision to close them,” a Kensington Palace source told HuffPost at the time.
