After a hiatus since 2020, Meghan Markle has rejoined Instagram, delighting fans with a glimpse into her personal life. The Duchess of Sussex shared a short video on New Year's Day, captured by Prince Harry, showing her playfully drawing "2025" in the sand on a California beach. Dressed casually in white linen, Markle's joyful demeanor was evident as she ran along the shoreline. The post quickly garnered hundreds of thousands of followers, demonstrating the continued public interest in the Duchess. Markle and Prince Harry previously shared the @KensingtonRoyal Instagram account with Prince William and Kate Middleton before establishing their own account, @SussexRoyal, which became inactive in 2020 following their departure from royal duties. Markle hinted at her Instagram return in a 2022 interview, and her recent reappearance confirms her intention to re-engage with the online platform.
