Nash explains that she does not believe Meghan will be posting on the account anytime soon and that the account was set up should she ever wish to return to social media.

“It’s nice that she has the option, but I guess it’s a contingency. And when you are a famous person, you have to grab those handles while you can,” she added.

MAKING WAVES ON SOCIAL MEDIA

It’s no secret that the Duchess made waves on social media long before joining the royal family. Before marrying Prince Harry, she had a personal Instagram account and also ran her very successful lifestyle blog called The Tig, where she shared tidbits of her life with followers. 

The Instagram account and blog have been closed since joining the royal family. According to The Cut, Meghan, Prince Harry, Prince William, and Princess Kate briefly used the @KensingtonRoyal Instagram before the Duke and Duchess of Sussex created their own account – @sussexroyal.
