Meghan Markle Makes Surprise Social Media Return: The Story Behind Her Stunning Photo

Surprise! Meghan Markle Returns to Social Media

Hey there, royal fans! Just when we thought Meghan Markle was done with social media for good, she popped back in with a delightful surprise. Over the weekend, on October 27, the Duchess of Sussex shared a breathtaking photo of her husband, Prince Harry, via Kensington Palace’s official Instagram account. This wasn’t just any snap—it’s being hailed as one of Meghan’s best pictures yet, and it’s got everyone buzzing.

A Candid Moment Captured in Black and White

In this heartwarming photo, Prince Harry, looking sharp at 34, is seen rehearsing his speech for the Invictus Games closing ceremony in Australia. Meghan captured the intimate moment with a classic black-and-white filter, adding a timeless elegance to the image. The caption reads, “Getting ready for tonight’s @InvictusGames2018 closing ceremony, where we will celebrate the #InvictusGames competitors, and their friends, and families.” The post also credits Meghan herself for the photo, noting that both the Duke and Duchess of Sussex would be speaking at the ceremony later that evening.

    Why This Photo Matters

    Now, here’s the kicker: this was the first photo Meghan had posted to Instagram since becoming a member of the royal family back in May. Before her royal duties took over, Meghan ran a popular lifestyle blog called The Tig, but she eventually stepped away from social media to focus on her new role. On The Tig’s homepage, Meghan left a heartfelt farewell message to her followers: “After close to three beautiful years on this adventure with you, it’s time to say goodbye to The Tig,” she wrote. “What began as a passion project evolved into an amazing community of inspiration, support, fun, and frivolity. You’ve made my days brighter and filled this experience with so much joy.”

    Meghan’s Social Media Detox: A Smart Move

    Leaving social media behind turned out to be a wise decision for Meghan, especially now that she’s expecting her first child with Harry. During a recent visit to Bondi Beach in Sydney, Meghan spoke with local resident Jessica Oakes and revealed that she doesn’t miss social media at all. “She said, ‘Flattery and criticism run through the same filter,’” Oakes recounted. “She said it was very freeing that she no longer has social media.” While Meghan may not post as frequently now that she’s using Kensington Palace’s account, fans are thrilled to see her occasional contributions, especially from her and Harry’s first joint tour.
