Will Meghan Markle now use her personal Instagram account again?
With the whole issue of Megxit, many have wondered what is going to happen now with social networks: who do they have to follow, worth the redundancy? Who does not? What accounts are official? But above all, they have asked themselves the million dollar question: will Meghan Markle use her personal Instagram account again?
We go step by step so as not to get lost. Meghan Markle took down her
personal Instagram account in early 2018, in the middle of her love story
with Prince Harry, when she had 3 million followers but hadn't used them for
quite some time.
He also did the same with that of Twitter, which was seen among experts as a
symbol that the royal family wanted to "silence" the Duchess of Sussex,
since she had expressed her opposition to Brexit through several tweets and
he had called Donald Trump a "misogynist."
From the Kensington Palace account, it was assured in an official statement
that the Suits ex-actress was "very grateful to all the fans" who had had
"throughout all these years" but had decided to close them "because it had
been some time that she didn't use them. "
Meghan Markle was a regular on social media, so her return was always
speculated. In fact, at the end of 2018, the former actress's Instagram
account was active again, although it was for a brief period and everything
seemed to be the result of an error.
At that time, his latest publications included a poem by the poet Nayyirah
Waheed, a street graffiti simulating the hashtag #NoBadEnergy ("No bad
energy") or a poster that read "In a society that provides you with
continuous insecurities , loving yourself is an act of rebellion ". Also,
she used to advertise her lifestyle blog, 'The Tig'.
Three months later. March 2019. It is then that, on the occasion of
International Women's Day, Meghan Markle gave a talk accompanied by other
women such as the Scottish singer Annie Lennox or the former Prime Minister
of Australia, Julia Gillard.
In it, she had no qualms about clarifying the reason for her silence on
social networks. And the key was that he had other, more important things to
think about: humanitarian causes. "I don't read anything, it's much better
this way, although that's just my personal position. I think [reading about
yourself] whether it's for or against, can contribute in a way to feed the
noise that has been with us lately", Markle argued.
"It is our responsibility to choose which links to open, what to read, what
interests us, so it is also up to us not to participate in negativity, to be
more positive and assertive. In my case it is complicated, because I am not
part of the networks", confirmed the duchess. It had recently been
discovered that almost 70% of derogatory comments about her came from 'bots'
(fake accounts) and from trolls profiles.
However, just a month later, in April, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry open
their own official Instagram account: @sussexroyal. "Welcome to our official
Instagram. We look forward to sharing the work that drives us, the causes we
champion, important announcements and the opportunity to shed light on key
issues. Thank you for your support. Harry & Meghan," read that first
message.
That is, right now, the main social network of the dukes, since it does not
have its counterpart on Twitter. And given the circumstances, it doesn't
seem like Meghan Markle is willing to give it up to start over with her old
account.
And it is that, if what they are looking for is media coverage for their
humanitarian causes (and it is what they plan to do, month by month,
supporting a different charity: this January, for example, it is the turn of
the Good News Movement), it is inane Back to the past.
Above all, since the split of the Dukes of Sussex from the British royal
house was announced, its followers have increased by almost a million fans.
Because they have spent 10 million with them welcomed the New Year, to the
current 10.9, which quickly brings them closer to the 11 million of the Duke
and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince William and Kate Middleton, who had always
been more " popular "on social media.
Of course, the only downside that some users are putting to the account of
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry is that they change the name, since certain
fans consider that they are no longer worthy of carrying the title of Dukes
of Sussex.
