Fans Slam ‘Hypocrite’ Meghan Markle For Opening Instagram Account Using Her Royal Title: ‘Didn’t She Hate Royalty Life?’

Meghan Markle has returned to Instagram!
The 43-year-old former Suits actress shut down her Instagram account in January 2018, a few months before marrying Prince Harry. But she confirmed that she has returned to the social media platform under the new name @meghan by posting a short video of herself at the beach on New Year’s Day.
Dressed in an all-white-ensemble consisting of white cropped trousers and an oversized white shirt, the American Riviera Orchard founder can be seen running towards the sand and writing ‘2025’ in it, before running back.
At the time of writing, the account @meghan has 1.4M followers. But we don’t think all of those followers are her biggest fans and supporters, as so many people took to other accounts to criticize her.
Many people thought that returning to Instagram was very hypocritical, considering the fact that both she and Prince Harry have regularly asked for privacy over the years.
And others couldn’t help but slam the mom-of-two for once again using her Duchess of Sussex title in her name (her Instagram name reads ‘Meghan, Duchess of Sussex,’ FYI) considering all the negative things she and Prince Harry have said about the royal family since stepping down as senior royals.
