Duchess of Sussex Sparks Marriage Speculation With Instagram Post Following Five-Year Hiatus
Meghan Markle’s return to Instagram has fuelled fresh speculation about her relationship with Prince Harry and the royal family, with her latest post drawing attention for its timing and message.
On New Year’s Day, Meghan launched her solo account under the handle @meghan, sharing a beachside video filmed by Harry. The clip, showing the Duchess running barefoot along the shore, came just a day after Kate Middleton’s emotional New Year video and is seen by some as a subtle response to royal dynamics.
Experts have weighed in, with some suggesting the post hints at a “marriage update” and reflects Meghan’s strong connection with Harry. Body language expert Judi James noted, “The story seems to be that the romance is still alive in the Montecito household.”
Others interpret Meghan’s move as a calculated bid to “control the narrative,” sending a message to the royal family that “she won’t stop,” even amidst ongoing tensions.
The post also follows months of solo appearances by both Meghan and Harry, further fuelling speculation about the couple’s evolving roles. Meanwhile, Meghan’s return to Instagram has reignited rumours about her potential return to acting, given her past success on the legal drama Suits.
Meghan’s move ensures she remains a focal point in royal conversations, with her post serving as a statement of independence and resilience as she steps into 2025.
