Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has returned to Instagram with a new personal account, marking her first post on the platform in nearly five years. The debut video, a 30-second clip filmed by her husband Prince Harry, shows Meghan running on a beach near their home in Montecito, California, and writing '2025' in the sand. Dressed in white jeans and a white shirt, and barefoot, Meghan's return to the platform under the username @meghan has already attracted 140,000 followers. This move signals a new chapter for the former actress, who previously had a significant following on social media before stepping back from royal duties in 2020.
