Meghan Markle's Social Media Comeback Sparks Discussion: Experts Weigh In
Meghan Markle has made a significant return to Instagram, marking her first personal post in several years with a solo video on her new account, @meghan.
In the video, the Duchess of Sussex is seen enjoying a peaceful beach scene, writing "2025" in the sand, which hints at an exciting year ahead. This post comes on the heels of the trailer release for her upcoming Netflix series, *With Love, Meghan*, set to premiere on January 15.
While Meghan's return to social media has generated enthusiasm among her fans, some royal commentators are questioning her approach. Royal expert Phil Dampier suggests that the Duchess's decision to disable comments on her posts may be part of a larger strategy to maintain control over her image.
“She’s clearly teasing us with these posts,” Dampier shared with *The Sun*. “By turning off comments, Meghan seems to be signaling that she’s not interested in public interaction—she’s focused on controlling the narrative.”
Dampier further speculated that the video’s polished yet vague nature could be a deliberate effort to manage public perception.
“Harry and Meghan are known for their meticulous control over their public image, and this Instagram strategy seems to reflect that,” he explained.
Although Meghan's social media return has generated excitement among her supporters, the decision to limit fan interaction has sparked debate over her relationship with social media and her broader media strategy.
As her Netflix series looms and public attention intensifies, Meghan's social media presence is expected to remain a major talking point as 2025 unfolds.
