We’ve got some major royal news! Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have just opened their very own Instagram account–Sussex Royal. We’re already anticipating all of the behind-the-scenes footage and fun that they will be sharing on their new account.

Previously, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex shared an Instagram account — Kensington Royal –with Prince William and Duchess Kate Middleton. However, since the Sussexes recently split their household with the Cambridges, it looks like they are really trying to strike out on their own.

Why did Meghan Markle and Prince Harry open their own Instagram account?

With a baby on the way and a major move from Kensington Palace to their own estate in Windsor –Frogmore Cottage, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have a lot on their plates. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are eager to establish themselves away from the shadow of Prince William and Duchess Kate Middleton who will eventually by the King and pseudo Queen of England. This is the major reason why they’ve begun to branch off on their own. Buckingham Palace said in a statment,

The Queen has agreed to the creation of a new Household for The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, following their marriage in May last year. The Household, which will be created with the support of The Queen and The Prince of Wales, will be established in the spring. The Duke of Sussex currently has his own private office, which has been supporting The Duchess since the engagement of Their Royal Highnesses in November 2017. This long-planned move will ensure that permanent support arrangements for The Duke and Duchess’s work are in place as they start their family and move to their official residence at Frogmore Cottage.

Will Prince Harry and Meghan Markle debut the very first photos of Baby Sussex on their new Instagram account?

Both the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are very independent people. They tried to establish their own royal court outside of Buckingham Palace –but the queen and Prince Charles vetoed their idea. However, with their own household and social media accounts, they will have greater control over their images –including when they will debut photos of Baby Sussex.

We think they will use their Sussex Royal Instagram account to debut the first photos of Baby Sussex who is set to arrive in late April. After all, in their very first Instagram post they said, “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”

We’ll be keeping our eyes peeled on Harry and Meghan’s new IG account for Baby Sussex’s grand debut.
