After Meghan Markle’s unexpected return to social media, some of her followers have speculated that a detail on her new Instagram profile might hint at a secret divorce from Prince Harry. While neither Meghan nor Harry has addressed such rumors, these online theories have quickly gained traction.

Meghan marked the start of 2025 by rejoining social media after a four-year hiatus. She and Prince Harry had previously deactivated their profiles in 2021, three years after their wedding, reportedly due to the relentless criticism they faced after relocating from the UK to the US. At the time, Elle Magazine noted their decision to step away from the negativity.

Yesterday, Meghan shared her first post on Instagram under the handle @meghan. The video featured her running barefoot along a beach, writing “2025” in the sand. Her return to the platform has already drawn millions of followers, some of whom are curious about her chosen title on the account.

For Instagram users, a profile title appears at the top of the page in addition to the handle. Meghan’s title reads, “Meghan, Duchess of Sussex.” While this may seem like a reasonable choice, a subtle omission—specifically, the absence of the word “The” before “Duchess of Sussex”—has sparked speculation among a few observant followers about possible marital discord.

One user posted on X (formerly Twitter): “So Meghan is back on Instagram under her own name. To start with, it was just ‘Meghan,’ but now ‘Duchess of Sussex’ has been added. BUT did any of you notice… The is missing from her title. In other words, she is sharing a title of a divorced ‘Duchess.’ That THE is very important.”
