Meghan Markle is getting ready to make her big return to Instagram, and she is already being reminded not to make another mistake involving Prince Harry.
Prince Harry and the former American actress were dating in secret for several months before it was confirmed they were indeed an item.
Dedicated royal fans were among the first to learn that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were in love and spending time together because of Instagram.
And Markle was the one leaving breadcrumbs behind to indicate that she was dating the British royal.
Back then, Markle had a popular Instagram page where she gave a glimpse of her private life, which included lots of traveling, spending time with friends, caring for her pets, and taking part in activities such as yoga and meditation.
However, Markle hinted that she had found her prince charming in two Instagram posts. One was a photo of two bananas spooning, and the other was a picture that was taken during a romantic trip to Soho Farmhouse in Oxfordshire, England.
The image featured Markle’s arm with an array of bracelets holding a book. Fans quickly understood that Markle was wearing bracelets famously belonging to Prince Harry.
The Mirror explained: “The photo also showed her wrist, which features a blue, white, and black beaded bracelet. While the bracelet didn’t seem overly exciting, some fans recognized it as being very, very similar to the one Harry wears.”
The publication noted that “Meghan Markle put Prince Harry’s secret in jeopardy with a risky Instagram photo.”
Markle is getting ready to make an unprecedented move as a member of the Royal Family by having an active Instagram account, where she will follow in the footsteps of Kim Kardashian and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and become a mega influencer. Markle will be using the @meghan account, which already has 128,000 followers.
Speaking to the Daily Mail, social media expert Eric Schiffer explained: “You have celebrities like the Kardashians who can command $1 million (£795,000) and up for a single post promoting a product. There is no reason Meghan couldn’t be earning those sorts of fees.”
Some royal backers are hoping that Markle will be more prudent this time around and not expose any more of Prince Harry’s secrets with the photos and videos that she will share online.
Others want her to be cautious when it comes to posting old photos that might include Royal Family members or the royal properties she stayed at before stepping down from her duties.
