Just weeks after making her return to Instagram, Meghan Markle has hit a major social media milestone, surpassing a fellow royal in follower count.
Since stepping down as senior royals in 2020, Meghan and Prince Harry have largely stayed away from social media. However, ahead of the premiere of her Netflix series With Love and the launch of her lifestyle brand, As Ever, Meghan made an unexpected return to Instagram on New Year’s Day.
Her upcoming series will feature the Duchess alongside celebrity guests as she shares tips on cooking, hosting, and gardening.
In a video introducing her lifestyle brand—which will offer products like fruit preserves, non-medicated hair treatments, candles, stationery, and jewelry—Meghan reflected on how she “hasn’t been able to share” certain aspects of her life “for the past few years.”
Now, less than two months since rejoining the platform, Meghan has already surpassed another royal in follower count.
She has quickly reached two million Instagram followers, overtaking Princess Eugenie, who currently has 1.8 million and has been posting consistently for over six years.
