Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have launched their own official Instagram page today with the handle @SussexRoyal. So far, there is only one post on the account: a slideshow of 10 highlights from the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's royal work.

The couple left a sweet note in the caption: "'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 to @sussexroyal.'- Harry & Meghan"

 

 


The profile photo for the account is Harry and Meghan's official logo, an intertwined H and M, under a crown. The graphic is printed in white over a navy blue background. At the time of writing, they're only following three accounts: @KensingtonRoyal, @ClarenceHouse, and @TheRoyalFamily.

Up until now, Harry and Meghan's official outings were documented on social media by Kensington Palace, which also shares updates on the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and their three children. Now, @KensingtonRoyal has changed its profile photo to a portrait of the Cambridge family and removed the Sussexes from its official bio on both Twitter and Instagram. That means we can expect all further official updates on Harry and Meghan to come from @SussexRoyal from now on. (An official Twitter account under the name has not yet been revealed.)

 

 


The launch of the Instagram page comes after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced they are establishing their own royal household, separate to that of Prince William and Kate Middleton at Kensington Palace. The move means the Sussexes will have their own staff based at Buckingham Palace, which will report to the Queen's private secretary. Perhaps getting their own Instagram was just one small step in the big transition.
