Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announced their plans to step down from royal duties five years ago - and have since done one thing they said they'd never do, it's been claimed.

On Jan. 1, the Duchess of Sussex, 43, unveiled a verified Instagram account with the handle @meghan and has amassed 1.4 million followers in the week since. After almost five years away from social media, a source says Meghan is "excited" to make her Instagram comeback, where she plans to spread "joy" and share updates on her latest projects.

It’s been a rocky road for Meghan Markle and the British royal family since she fell in love with Prince Harry and the pair's exit in 2020. The Suits alum started dating the prince during the summer of 2016.
