Meghan Markle has seemingly embarked on a new chapter, marking her Instagram debut with a striking monochrome video.

Royal expert Ingrid Seward interprets the move as a deliberate statement aimed at asserting her individuality and resilience after a challenging year in the public eye.

The Duchess of Sussex’s first post has sparked discussions about its underlying message. Ms. Seward remarked to The Sun, "There’s always a hidden message with Meghan. I think it’s a positive message: 'Hi, I’m here. I’m back. I’m doing my thing, and Harry will be doing his thing, and I should be doing mine.'”

She further noted that the post conveys Meghan’s determination to start 2025 strongly and positively.

“They’ve been dogged by rumours about their marriage and Harry’s happiness throughout 2024. This is Meghan saying, 'Look at me. Watch out for what I’m doing.’”

The Royal expert highlighted the post's focus as solely on Meghan. “It’s nothing to do with her children or Harry—it’s just her. She’s making it clear that she’s done her mothering bit and is keen to keep her children out of the public eye.”

Meghan’s decision to step back into the limelight comes after a turbulent year of media scrutiny. "She hasn’t had a good year press-wise, and she needs this. It’s her way of taking control of her narrative,” Ms. Seward concluded.
