Written by on 02/04/2019

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have launched an official Instagram account.

Sussex Royal debuted with a picture of the couple’s monogram – a combination of H and M with a crown above it – on a blue background.

Their first post said: “Welcome to our official Instagram; we look forward to sharing the work that drives us, the causes we support, important announcements, and the opportunity to shine a light on key issues.

“We thank you for your support, and welcome you to @sussexroyal.- Harry & Meghan.”

The royals uploaded a series of photos from the 11 months since they got married, including images from their tour of Australia and New Zealand, Fiji and Tonga.

The account had nearly 40,000 followers within minutes, with more than 6,000 people liking the first bunch of pictures.

Harry and Meghan are following just three other accounts so far – Clarence House, Kensington Palace and The Royal Family.

The couple’s first baby could soon feature on the account, with Meghan believed to be due in late April or early May.
