Meghan, 42, and Harry, 39,shut down their @SussexRoyal Instagram pageshortly after announcing that they intended tostep back as working members of the royal familyin 2020. They then moved to Meghan’s home state of California and set up their Archewell Foundation, but the couple has not returned to social media.
Although the parents of two no longer use Instagram or update the websiteSussexRoyal.com, “both the Instagram account and website will remain in existence online for the foreseeable future,” a spokesperson for the couple previously stated.
In a caption on their final Instagram post, the couple wrote: “As we can all feel, the world at this moment seems extraordinarily fragile. Yet we are confident that every human being has the potential and opportunity to make a difference—as seen now across the globe, in our families, our communities and those on the front line—together we can lift each other up to realise the fullness of that promise.”
“As we all find the part we are to play in this global shift and changing of habits, we are focusing this new chapter to understand how we can best contribute,” they added. “While you may not see us here, the work continues.”
Last year, Meghan teased a return to social media in a wide-ranginginterviewwithNew Yorkmagazine’sThe Cut.
“Do you want to know a secret?” she said. “I’m getting back…on Instagram.”
Although Meghan “would relay she was no longer sure she would actually return to Instagram” later in the interview, she appeared to be considering the move “especially now, withArchetypescoming out,” referring to herpodcast.

Reflecting onshutting down her social media profiles(including her Instagram page with 3 million followers) and lifestyle blogThe Tigafter getting engaged to Prince Harry, the formerSuitsstar said, “It was a big adjustment — a huge adjustment to go from that kind of autonomy to a different life.”
Meghan and Prince Harry’s royal work and news appeared on the @KensingtonRoyal accounts, which also provided updates onPrince WilliamandKate Middleton— but it came with strict rules.
The couple later launched their separate @SussexRoyal account.
Instagram is clearly important to the couple — in fact,it’s how they first connected.

In addition toFamily Guy, Meghan and Prince Harry were also spoofed onSouth Parkearlier this year. Titled “Worldwide Privacy Tour,” the episode centered on a “prince of Canada” and his wife who settle in the fictional town in Colorado. The characters' similarities to Harry and Meghan were hard to miss, from the prince’s ginger hair and beard to the wife’s pink outfit and hat, a close match to Meghan’s ensemble at Trooping the Colour in 2018. The show saw the cartoon couple carrying “We want our privacy” and “Stop looking at us” signs as they traveled to different locations around the world.
When reports emerged that Meghan and Harry were going to pursue legal action againstSouth Park,a spokesperson for the couple denied the rumors. The spokesperson told PEOPLE: “It’s all frankly nonsense. Totally baseless, boring reports.”
