To kick off 2025, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, started a brand new Instagram account. The timing made perfect sense as it came just before the trailer for her new Netflix series With Love, Meghan dropped.
Her Instagram account kicked off with a special video that was apparently filmed by Prince Harry himself and showed a candid moment with the duchess on the beach. It was a great reintroduction for the Duchess of Sussex to social media. And it quickly got attention.
On January 2, Duchess Meghan then posted to Instagram with the trailer for With Love, Meghan. And one thing that many people noticed about her new social media account is that the comments section is off. People can't comment on any of her posts.
Duchess Meghan opts to keep the comments off on her new Instagram account
And maybe it is us, but we are proud of the Duchess of Sussex for protecting her peace. By not allowing anyone to comment on her Instagram posts, she is making sure that the trolls can't directly attack her, which they can always do in other ways anyway.
Keeping the comments off is the smartest thing that Duchess Meghan could do in her return to social media with a personal account. We say that since her lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard also has its own Instagram, and at least for now those comments are also off.
Considering the toxicity that the duchess has had to contend with since her relationship with Prince Harry went public, we would expect nothing less than her doing whatever she needs to in order not to bring more vitriol her way. And if that means keeping the comments off on her Instagram account, then more power to her.
We can't wait to see more of Duchess Meghan's Instagram journey. And we really hope that she does plan to post more on social media and give us looks at her life and projects. Plus, we want to see more of the dogs! Those glimpses we saw in the With Love, Meghan trailer were so precious and we are for that level of cuteness.
