In a surprising start to the year, Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, has made her return to Instagram after a five-year absence! The buzz around her comeback has already translated into a surge of followers, with her new account @meghan currently boasting over 200,000 supporters.

The Associated Press confirmed that this account is indeed owned by Meghan, who kicked things off with a captivating black-and-white video. In the clip, she is seen enjoying a beach day, dressed in crisp white attire and playfully inscribing "2025" in the sand, all amidst a moody, overcast sky.

This re-emergence on social media comes after her high-profile marriage to Prince Harry in 2018 and a gradual separation from royal duties. Initially, Meghan and Harry shared their insights and adventures through the official @KensingtonRoyal account alongside Prince William and Kate, the Princess of Wales. However, the couple sought autonomy, launching their own account, @SussexRoyal, in 2019. This account was shelved in 2020 as they announced their decision to step back from royal responsibilities.

Interestingly, Meghan previously enjoyed a vibrant Instagram presence when she was an actress on the hit show "Suits." In a 2022 interview with New York Magazine's The Cut, she teased her fans about her upcoming return, stating, "Do you want to know a secret? I’m getting back… on Instagram." Yet, her enthusiasm seemed tempered by the darker side of social media; Meghan has also expressed concerns about online harassment, stressing the need for stronger content moderation to protect the mental health of young users.

As she dives back into the social media realm, it will be intriguing to watch how Meghan navigates the pressures and opportunities that come with her new digital presence. Will she share candid glimpses into her life, advocate for important causes, or perhaps even rekindle her connection with fans from her acting days? One thing's for sure: the world is watching, and her every post is bound to be newsworthy! Stay tuned for updates as Meghan embarks on this exciting new chapter!
