Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Now Have Their Own Instagram

Since announcing their engagement in November 2017, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been nonstop busy with traveling the world, making public appearances, and building a life together. And with a baby coming around the corner (as in this month!), the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s lives are about to get a whole lot busier—and they just made it a million times easier for us common folk to follow along with their new Instagram account.

Earlier this morning, the @sussexroyal Instagram quietly launched to the masses, quickly building a following that is growing by the second. Prince Harry and Meghan debuted their account with a photo collage, the lead showcasing the couple’s joint monogram that has a combined H and M in cursive underneath a royal crown.

According to the first post, the account will be used to keep royal followers up-to-speed with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s latest news. The caption reads: “We look forward to sharing the work that drives us, the causes we support, important announcements, and the opportunity to shine a light on key issues” and is signed as “Harry & Meghan.” 9 images follow the monogram, showcasing some of the couple’s public moments in which they are giving back, participating in communal acts, and flashing their warm smiles.

The Royals have been rapidly growing their IG reputation over the past few years, as seen through @sussexroyal’s followers: @clarencehouse, @kensingtonroyal, and @theroyalfamily. Just last month, the Queen was filmed publishing her first Instagram in front of a crowd. Additionally, since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle now have their own account, @kensingtonroyal has officially become the platform for Prince William and Kate Middleton to share their latest and greatest announcements.

From the time we started writing this story to its finish, the Sussex’s follower count has grown from 71K to over 200K (and counting). And you can bet that we’re one of them.
