Meghan Markle Returns to Instagram, but Growth Falls Short of Expectations
Meghan Markle has made an unexpected return to Instagram after a five-year break from social media, just as she prepares to launch her highly anticipated eight-part lifestyle and cooking series on Netflix.
The Duchess of Sussex's Netflix trailer, which gives viewers a sneak peek into *With Love, Meghan*, has already attracted 1.3 million views within days of its release.
However, amidst the buzz surrounding the series, royal experts have expressed surprise that Meghan's Instagram following hasn't grown as rapidly as expected.
A royal commentator noted that Meghan's social media comeback has been less remarkable than anticipated, especially considering her celebrity status. Meghan returned to Instagram with posts about her upcoming show and a touching tribute to her late dog, Guy, who passed away recently.
On the latest episode of *Hello!* Magazine's *A Right Royal Podcast*, hosts Emily Nash and Andrea Caamano discussed Meghan's return to Instagram.
"I'll be honest; I thought it would grow faster, but it’s still at nine million followers," one of the hosts remarked. "Netflix, I think, had eight million views, and her post about Guy, her dog, had around four million likes."
Before marrying Prince Harry in 2018, Meghan deactivated her personal social media accounts. Prior to that, she was an active user and even ran her own lifestyle blog, *The Tig*.
