However, trouble brewed when her anonymous account was abruptly banned for violating community policies. Observers noted that Meghan allegedly wrested the username '@Megan' from another user, potentially employing a hacker to achieve this, a clear violation of Instagram's first-come, first-served policy.
Adding to the intrigue, many questioned Meghan's claim to fame, arguing that she lacks the celebrity status to naturally accumulate over 103,000 followers. Speculation mounted that she may have created a fake account to boost her online presence.
The Duchess of Sussex, rumored to be seeking new income streams following her Spotify venture's less-than-stellar performance, has been cautioned that her Instagram comeback may not be the public relations boon she hopes for. While her initial popularity may attract followers, it's doubtful to alter the public's perception of her, especially given her recent controversies and strained relationships within the royal family.
As Meghan teases her return to the photo-sharing platform, experts anticipate that her empty account, bearing only a profile picture of pink dahlias and no posts, could potentially propel her into the ranks of the top 10 highest-paid influencers globally.
Yet, some believe that Meghan and Prince Harry would do well to step back from the limelight to improve their public image, as their struggles to maintain celebrity connections and ongoing disputes with the royal family continue to erode their public standing.
The mystery surrounding Meghan's ability to secure the coveted '@Megan' username remains, given Instagram's standard policy of first-come, first-served for handles. Celebrities are usually expected to buy unique usernames, making the acquisition of '@Megan' all the more intriguing.
