Meghan Markle Starts 2025 With a Return to Instagram...Maybe
All the details and my thoughts about Meghan's New Year's Day post.
Good morning and Happy New Year! I have not stayed up to ring in the new year in a long time—I am an early bird and prefer to greet the new year with the dawn. Last night, though, I decided to make macarons, which I have not done in about a decade. I forgot how labor intensive they are! I finished them with ten minutes to go until midnight. Totally exhausting, but also so fun. Welcome 2025!
Speaking of welcoming 2025, Meghan Markle made big news doing just that. The former royal made her return to social media with a video post this morning—running barefoot along a foggy beach and writing 2025 in the soft sand before giggling and running across the frame (providing us the only brief glimpse of her face). I assume she practiced that 2025; she executed it flawlessly.
The Sussexes must have briefed some outlets, because there are details online about the video that are not available from the post alone—that Harry was the one who filmed the video, the name of the photographer who took her new IG profile picture, the location of the shoot, etc.
As always seems to be the case with the Sussexes, even this launch included some amendments on the fly.
