During the conversation, published in August 2022, Meghan teased, “Do you want to know a secret? I’m getting back… on Instagram.” Later in the same interview, she expressed uncertainty about whether she would actually make a return, but her latest move confirms her decision to rejoin the platform.

Previously, Meghan candidly talked about her exit from social media platforms. In her own words, she quipped, “It was a big adjustment, a huge adjustment to go from that kind of autonomy to a different life,” she told The Cut about closing down her social media accounts. “There’s literally a structure by which if you want to release photos of your child, as a member of the family, you first have to give them to the Royal Rota,” she said back in 2022.
Meghan Markle’s Instagram comeback didn’t go down well, and a section of the audience took no time to troll the Duchess of Sussex. One user wrote, “I don’t know of anyone who missed her!” Another X user wrote, “She can keep running.” Some comments also labeled her a “home wrecker” and a “narcissist.”
