They do follow family members on Instagram such as the official account of King Charles and Queen Camilla, as well as royal institutions like Historic Royal Palaces, but once again, those seem to be limited to professional accounts only. They also aren’t super up-to-date. For example, William and Kate’s account is still following SussexRoyal, which has been defunct since 2020.
Finally, Markle only just joined Instagram in January 2025. While it would have been notable had they followed her (and her Instagram account, As Ever) right out of the gate, it also doesn’t necessarily speak volumes about the state of their royal relationship. After all, Kensington Palace’s Instagram account still follows the Invictus Games, which was founded by Prince Harry. As mentioned above, if social media was being used as a way to underscore royal alliances, you’d think any Sussex-related accounts would be the first to go.
