Inside Meghan Markle's cunning Instagram plot despite her slamming social media

Meghan Markle started 2025 with a bang by making a huge return to Instagram. The Duchess of Sussex launched her brand new account with the handle @meghan on January 1 with an ethereal video of her running on a beach and writing 2025 in the sand. The 'unfiltered' clip was said to be shot by Prince Harry and showed Meghan in a white dress.
It is believed Meghan set up the account in June 2022 and in the summer of 2023, speculation hit fever pitch about her Insta return after sleuths found an account with the @meghan handle with a profile picture showing pink peonies, Meghan's favourite flower.
However, in the past few months, both Meghan and Harry have railed against the use of social media, slamming tech companies for not doing enough to protect children online. In 2023, the Sussexes urged social media platforms to strengthen content-moderation policies, saying that some apps could damage the mental health of young people.
But despite their warnings, Meghan was obviously keen to return to the online space, leading to questions about what she will actually post on the account. And according to a source, she plans to "authentically share moments of joy and inspiration from her life".
According to The Telegraph, Meghan is 'excited' about her Instagram return and hopes to use her account to "reconnect with communities" and share updates on her "impactful projects". The publication reports that she is committed to promoting a "joyful and thoughtful approach to online content and is hoping to "lead by example" in demonstrating how social media can be a tool used for good.
