Before Meghan and Harry tied the knot, the Kensington Palace social media pages featured an image ofPrince William, Kate and Prince Harry at an event for the charity Heads Together in 2016. The three smile while wearing blue sweatbands on their heads.

Kensington Palace’s announcement of Meghan and Harry’s new Instagram page also makes it clear that they’ll be focusing more on William and Kate going forward.
Harry and Meghan’s own Instagram account is the first step in their transition to a new office – although no plans for an individual Twitter account have been announced. All the royal households share the same Facebook page.
They captioned their very first post: “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.” It was signed “Harry & Meghan.”
Harry, 34, and Meghan, 37, also shared a few of their favorite photos, which highlights their royal work. The nine photos include special moments from their royal tour to Australia last fall, Harry’s work with the military and his conservation efforts with elephants, Meghan’s bond with the women of the Hubb Community Kitchen and her connection with the public. The photo gallery ends with a dramatic black-and-white shot of the couple from their tour Down Under as they wave to the crowd while holding hands.
