Reports indicate that thousands of Brits have reported her account for violating Instagram's Community policies. This surge in reports came after a British media outlet suggested that Meghan Markle could potentially earn a million dollars per Instagram post. Her account boasts a following of over 100,000.
A source close to Meghan Markle's team, as cited by the Daily Mail, confirmed that the Instagram account under discussion belongs to the Duchess of Sussex. Speculation is rife about Meghan's imminent return to social media, with Instagram being her primary focus. While there is no official confirmation, one PR expert has cautioned against any use of royal titles in her potential return.
Edward Quorum James, a PR and reputation management expert, warned that reopening her social media accounts with royal titles and influence as key branding elements while using them for product placements and political messaging could expose her to criticism for abusing age-old cultural norms associated with royalty. He noted that Meghan's attempt to redefine royalty has not been well-received, as people prefer consistency and authenticity. Royals are seen as public servants, not celebrities, and using royal titles inappropriately may be perceived as contradictory.
Critics argue that Meghan's actions have disrespected British traditions and culture, as the institution of royalty relies on the royal family working for the benefit of Britain and its people. Much of the criticism directed at the Sussexes revolves around the perception that they prioritize personal interests over their role as representatives of the monarchy.
