Meghan Markle launches Instagram account on New Year’s Day with beach video filmed by Prince Harry

Meghan Markle has made her Instagram return.

The Duchess of Sussex launched her account on the social media platform on New Year’s Day with a carefree video taken at a beach near her Montecito, Calif., home.

In the footage shot by her husband, Prince Harry, Markle, 43, kept her back to the camera while running barefoot on the sand toward the waves.

The “Suits” alum eventually stopped and bent down to trace the numbers “2025” in the sand before giggling and jogging away.

Markle, who wore an all-white outfit in the social media upload, disabled the ability to comment on the post.

However, Serena Williams, Chrissy Teigen, Tan France and more celebrities showed their support by “liking” it.

Page Six exclusively reported in August 2023 that the former actress had secured the @meghan Instagram handle.

The account boasted 113,000 followers when she posted Wednesday’s video — but Markle has yet to follow any other Instagram users.

A source told Page Six last year that Markle booted up the account back in August 2022 ahead of her “Archetypes” Spotify podcast, which was ultimately canceled after one season.

“Do you want to know a secret?” she said in an interview with the Cut at the time. “I’m getting back…on Instagram.”

Markle had not been on social media since getting engaged to Harry, 40, in November 2017.

The couple tied the knot in May of the following year, welcoming son Prince Archie in 2019 before quitting the royal family and moving to America.

Their daughter, Princess Lilibet, joined the family in 2021.

Markle and Harry, who gave a rare glimpse of their children in their family’s Christmas card last month, have remained in the spotlight since coming to the United States.
