Meghan Markle celebrates the new year with Instagram relaunch

Meghan Markle returns to Instagram amid high stakes, aiming to rebuild her brand and secure new opportunities.

Meghan Markle has officially returned to Instagram after a five-year break, marking a significant moment in her post-royal journey. Her new account, @meghan, quickly garnered nearly 700,000 followers within hours of her first post.

Her first post, a video filmed by Prince Harry, shows her playfully inscribing “2025” in the sand on a Montecito beach, signaling a fresh start.

Experts see her Instagram relaunch as a calculated step to tap into lucrative endorsements and partnerships. Brand expert Nick Ede views it as an opportunity for Meghan to "own her narrative" and position herself as a Hollywood influencer rather than a former royal.

Hollywood A-listers like Serena Williams and Chrissy Teigen have already followed Meghan’s account, signaling potential for high-profile collaborations.

Meghan’s return to social media mirrors her transformation—from actress and blogger to royal duchess and now a media personality eager to reclaim her influence in Hollywood. .
