After she dated and married Prince Harry, the couple shared the account titled @KensingtonRoyal with Harry’s elder brother Prince William and Kate, Princess of Wales.

However, it was deactivated in 2020 when Harry and Meghan decided to officially step back from their roles as senior members of the UK royal family.
In an interview with The Cut in 2022, Meghan had revealed that she will make a comeback on social media soon. “Do you want to know a secret? I’m getting back … on Instagram,” she had said. And now, roughly three years since then, Meghan has now rejoined the social media platform.
