Meghan Markle is getting closer to another major social media milestone as her Instagram following continues to grow.
The Duchess of Sussex returned to Instagram in 2025 and has steadily built a large audience since making her comeback. Her account has attracted attention from several well-known names, including Kris Jenner, Zoe Saldana, Oprah Winfrey, Katy Perry and Lauren Sánchez Bezos.
Markle has now passed 4.7 million followers, putting her within reach of the five-million mark. Her growing audience reflects the continued interest surrounding the former American actress and her life with Prince Harry in California.
Since returning to the platform, Meghan has used Instagram for more than personal updates. Her posts have also helped promote her lifestyle business, including her brand As Ever.
Interestingly, Meghan currently follows just one account — the official Instagram page for As Ever. This means that although a number of famous personalities follow her, she has not chosen to follow them back from her personal account.
Another notable detail is how quickly Meghan has built her following with only a little over 100 posts. Rather than posting constantly, she has generally shared selected moments from her personal life, family celebrations and business activities.
Her Instagram content has occasionally featured Prince Harry and their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. Meghan has shared glimpses of family occasions, including birthdays and private moments spent together.
At the same time, the Duchess has continued to protect her children's privacy. When Archie and Lilibet appear in her social media content, Meghan has generally avoided clearly showing their faces, maintaining a cautious approach to sharing details about their lives online.
Meghan and Harry have been based in California since 2020, when they stepped away from their roles as working members of the British royal family. Since then, the couple has developed a life away from the UK while pursuing separate media and business projects.
With Meghan now beyond 4.7 million Instagram followers, reaching five million could become another notable moment in her growing digital presence.
