Meghan Markle is officially back on Instagram, and she made her comeback in the most quintessentially Duchess way possible—with a serene, beachy video captured by her husband, Prince Harry.
On New Year’s Day, the 43-year-old Duchess of Sussex shared the picturesque clip, signaling a fresh start to 2025. In the video, Meghan is seen running barefoot along a sandy shoreline, dressed in a breezy all-white outfit that exudes effortless elegance. At one point, she pauses to kneel down and trace “2025” in the sand before dashing off-camera with her signature grace.
According to People, the video was filmed on a public beach near Meghan and Harry’s Montecito, California, home, adding a touch of authenticity to the intimate moment.
Speculation about Meghan’s social media return had been swirling for months, with rumors pointing to the Instagram handle @meghan. This post finally confirmed it, marking a significant moment for the Duchess, who deleted her personal accounts back in early 2018 before her royal wedding to Prince Harry. At the time, her Instagram had amassed over 3 million followers, making her departure from social media a noticeable shift.
Since stepping away from royal duties in 2020, Meghan and Harry have built a new life in California, focusing on family and various personal and professional ventures. Meghan’s return to Instagram appears to mark a new chapter—one where she’s embracing her individuality and reconnecting with her audience on her own terms.
The timing of her return feels particularly symbolic. With 2025 just beginning, Meghan’s post radiates optimism and hope, a perfect way to usher in a fresh start.
Welcome back, Duchess! Here’s to a year of grace, new beginnings, and, of course, Instagram-worthy moments.
