It’s official: The Duke and Duchess of Sussex now have their own Instagram page.
Announcing the news on Tuesday, officials posted nine photographs of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to the new account @SussexRoyal, with a caption explaining why the couple have a new social media page dedicated to them.
“Welcome to our official Instagram; we look forward to sharing the work that drives us, the causes we support, important announcements, and the opportunity to shine a light on key issues. We thank you for your support, and welcome you. Harry & Meghan.”
