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. .
