Prince Harry was behind the camera of the new video, which sparked a frenzy online, as tens of thousands of people followed it in a matter of minutes, ballooning the account from 115,000 fans to 648,000 today. It has long been rumoured the profile belonged to her after the account was set up back in June, 2022, but remained empty. She then teased fans again in 2023 when she declared she was 'getting back on Instagram'.

Now the mother-of-two has confirmed the profile is hers, by posting a clip walking towards the shoreline at the beach in California, where she lives with Prince Harry, and children Archie, five, and Lilibet, three. The move is a huge u-turn for the Duchess, and is understood to be part of a new chapter for the couple and their lives in America, with her and Harry having previously ditched social media after quitting their royal duties.

In her new clip, Meghan is seen drawing the digits of the New Year - '2025' - into the sand, perhaps hinting an upcoming project. A beaming Duchess is then filmed running off camera as she giggles. Meghan Markle's account is now verified with a blue tick - after she made a dramatic return to social media with a video of her laughing on the beach near Montecito.
