Meghan Markle Sparks Instagram Handle Debate, Fans Speculate on Royal Titles and Marriage Rumors
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Meghan Markle’s recent return to Instagram with the handle @meghan has stirred online chatter, with fans scrutinizing the subtle details of her profile. The Duchess of Sussex’s solo account quickly amassed over 458,000 followers but raised eyebrows over royal protocol when her profile initially lacked the title “The Duchess of Sussex,” typically reserved for spouses of royal titleholders.
Fans Question Profile Update
The Instagram profile originally displayed just “Meghan” before being updated to “Meghan, Duchess of Sussex”. Observant royal fans noted that omitting “The” from her title is commonly associated with royal divorcees. Comparisons were drawn to Sarah Ferguson, who uses the title “Duchess of York” following her split from Prince Andrew.
A fan on X (formerly Twitter) shared screenshots of Meghan’s profile changes, writing:
“Meghan’s Instagram has already had an update, changing her name in the profile from ‘Meghan’ to ‘Meghan, Duchess of Sussex.’ Hopefully, we’ll see another update as she left out ‘The’ before Duchess of Sussex, which is significant in royal titles.”
Prince Harry and Meghan Dismiss Split Rumors
Despite the speculation, a video reel shared by Meghan on New Year’s Day, reportedly filmed by Prince Harry, suggests the couple remains united. The clip features Meghan joyfully running along the beach before writing “2025” in the sand. Prince Harry, addressing recent rumors, laughed off suggestions of a split, stating he feels sorry for trolls who cling to such hopes.
Festive Family Moments
The couple recently shared a cheerful 2024 Christmas card, featuring a family photo with their children, Archie (5) and Lilibet (3). The card showed Meghan smiling at Archie while Harry played with Lilibet, whose vibrant red hair matched her brother’s. This warm glimpse into their family life reaffirms their continued bond amid ongoing media speculation.
While Meghan’s Instagram handle update may have sparked curiosity, fans agree the Duchess’s online return signals a renewed focus on her personal projects and connection with her supporters.
