Well, 2025 is already off to a wonderful start for the Duchess of Sussex.
After a hiatus of nearly five years, Meghan Markle has officially returned to Instagram!
The @Meghan account was reserved under mysterious circumstances earlier this year, and it immediately began gathering big-name followers.
For obvious reasons, fans immediately jumped to the conclusion that the page belonged to the world’s most famous Meghan. And now, those suspicions have been confirmed!
Meghan Markle’s triumphant return to Instagram
Yes, Meghan jumped back into the social media pond in memorable fashion this morning.
In a video recorded by her husband, Prince Harry, the Duchess frolicked on the beach while smiling and writing “2025” in the sand before turning off the camera.
Meghan doesn’t allow comments on the post, and only she can see how many people “liked” it.
So reaction to the clip remains somewhat of a mystery – although we do know that some of Meg’s celebrity friends, including Chrissy Teigen, have already “liked” it.
Many are taking the post as confirmation that Meghan and Harry’s “professional separation” strategy will continue into the new year.
Unlike the couple’s previous account, this account does not feature Harry’s name, title or official seal of approval anywhere.

a long interval
In early 2020, at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, Harry and Meghan stepped away from social media.
“As we can all feel, the world feels exceptionally fragile at the moment,” the couple wrote at the time.
“Yet we believe every human being has the capacity and opportunity to make a difference – as seen now around the world, in our families, our communities and those on the front lines – together we can realize wholeness. About the promise that we can lift each other up,” he continued.
“Although you won’t be able to see us here, the work will continue. Thank you to this community – for support, inspiration, and a shared commitment to good in the world. We look forward to reconnecting with you soon. You have been great! Until then, please take good care of yourself and each other.
Fans are curious whether Meghan will use her new account to promote her American Riviera Orchard lifestyle brand, or whether she’ll want to focus on more personal content instead.
