Royal Instagram at 300k

THE Duke and Duchess of Sussex have launched their own Instagram page, the next step in the separation of their household from that of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

The couple will now share photographs, insights and “important announcements” on their own feed, @SussexRoyal, as opposed to their shared platform with William and Kate, @KensingtonRoyal.

In a personal message accompanying their first picture – an image of their royal cipher – Harry and Meghan wrote: “Welcome to our official Instagram; we look forward to sharing the work that drives us, the causes we support, important announcements, and the opportunity to shine a key issues.”

The post included a gallery of photos of Harry and Meghan on engagements, including their trips to Australia and Fiji.

Kensington Palace’s Twitter feed introduced the new account, saying: “Welcome to Instagram, SussexRoyal!”

Princess Eugenie posted an engagement picture of the couple on Instagram with the message: “Welcome cousins”.

The @SussexRoyal Instagram account had nearly 300,000 followers within an hour of launching. They include Meghan’s best friend Jessica Mulroney and celebrities David Beckham and Gwyneth Paltrow. light on
