Meghan Markle confirms 'professional separation' from Prince Harry

Meghan Markle has returned to spotlight by sharing her first video on her personal Instagram without her husband Prince Harry amid separation rumours.

The Duchess of Sussex returned to social media seven years on from deactivating her original account after marrying into the royal family.

Meghan's move has fueled speculations about her future with the Duke, with some considering it as a possible sign she and husband Prince Harry have 'professionally split' in terms of their respective careers.

The Duchess seems to have a new account with the simple handle, 'meghan', and one singular post, a video reel, sparking a buzz with solo appearance in her first social media post on her personal Instagram account since marrying Harry in 2018. 

It is to mention here that the account has not been verified with a blue tick yet. The video shows the former actress running along the beach before she bends over to write '2025' in the wet sand.

She could be heard dusting her hands before she laughed and ran past the camera. Prince Harry was nowhere in sight for the actual video but was reportedly the one filming the short clip.

Meghan's return to Instagram may also raise eyebrows among the royal family as she has been outspoken about her life with Firm since stepping down as senior working royal and relocating to the US in 2020.

Surprisingly, comments are turned off on the post but "Meghan's account" has already gained over a 200,000 followers within hours.

It is to mention here that Meghan deactivated her Instagram, Twitter (X) and Facebook accounts, alongside her lifestyle blog The Tig ahead of joining the royal family.
