The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, has made a triumphant return to Instagram after a seven-year absence. The verified account, simply handled @meghan, has already garnered considerable attention with its first post—a video of Markle running on a beach and inscribing “2025” in the wet sand.
A Symbolic Return to Social Media
In the video, Markle is seen enjoying a serene moment on a public beach near her home in Montecito, California. According to ABC News, the footage was filmed by her husband, Prince Harry.
The video captures Markle in an all-white outfit, running along the shoreline and writing “2025” in the sand, symbolizing a fresh start for the new year.
The Duchess’s Journey Back to Instagram
Meghan Markle’s return to Instagram marks a significant moment, as she had previously deleted her account in 2018 when her relationship with Prince Harry became more serious.
The former Suits actress was an avid user of the platform, sharing posts about her rescue dogs, world travels, and favorite food joints.
Since then, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have dramatically split from the royal family and pursued their own ventures in America, including a headline-grabbing Netflix series.

Embracing a New Chapter
Markle’s return to Instagram is seen as a defiance of the online trolls who have targeted her in the past. In a 2020 appearance on the Teenager Therapy podcast, she spoke about the “almost unsurvivable” abuse she received online.
“I’m told that in 2019 I was the most trolled person in the entire world, male or female,” she said. “But what was able to just be manufactured and churned out, it’s almost unsurvivable, that’s so big, you can’t think of what that feels like.”
A Fresh Start with American Riviera Orchard
The Duchess’s return to Instagram coincides with the launch of her new lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard.
The brand, which includes bespoke jam, is part of Markle’s efforts to establish a new identity outside of her royal duties. The embrace of Instagram is a strategic move to promote her brand and connect with her audience on a more personal level.
