Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announced their plans to step down from royal duties five years ago - and have since done one thing they said they'd never do, it's been claimed.

On Jan. 1, the Duchess of Sussex, 43, unveiled a verified Instagram account with the handle @meghan and has amassed 1.4 million followers in the week since. After almost five years away from social media, a source says Meghan is "excited" to make her Instagram comeback, where she plans to spread "joy" and share updates on her latest projects.

Meghan Markle is launching a lifestyle series on Netflix, "With Love, Meghan," where she serves as host and executive producer. Several experts claimed the British royal family won't be watching.
