The tension between the Sussexes and the other members of the British royal family has been a topic of conversation for several years. The alleged conflict between Prince William and Prince Harry deepened in 2020 when the red-haired aristocrat and his wife decided to officially step down from royal duties and move to the United States. Efforts to mend family relationships were undoubtedly hindered by high-profile interviews in American media, as well as a documentary in which Harry and Meghan were eager to take jabs at the royals.
It's worth remembering that several years ago, when Meghan Markle decided to become part of the British royal family, she faced many sacrifices. The American had to give up her flourishing acting career and also delete her Instagram profile. When she married Prince Harry, her presence on social media was limited to the official "@sussexroyal" account, which was followed by as many as 9.4 million people. Unfortunately, it was also deactivated in 2020.
Did Kate Middleton and Prince William want to upset Meghan Markle?
For several weeks, there has been increasing talk about a planned return of Meghan Markle to social media. On Instagram, you can already find an account named "@meghan", which probably belongs to Prince Harry's beloved, and will soon be officially launched. Although there are no posts on it yet, it already has nearly 130 thousand followers. Experts announced that if the rumors turn out to be true, Meghan will earn a minimum of one million dollars for each promotional post.
Before Meghan jump-started her online career again, Kate Middleton and Prince William made a rather unexpected move on the web, or rather their marketing specialists did. On the official profile of the royal couple on service X (formerly Twitter), a monthly summary appeared for the first time, allowing fans of the famous couple to recall their numerous activities they undertook in September. The new method of communication was well received by the internet users. However, some noticed that the moment of initiating the cycle coincidentally coincided with the alleged return of Meghan Markle to social media.
Will there be a scandal?
