In @meghan’s debut post — filmed by Prince Harry near the couple’s Montecito, Calif., home — the former Suits star is in all white and barefoot as she jogs along a beach towards the waves on a cloudy day.

She slows down and eventually stops, bends to carve “2025” in the sand before laughing and running away.

Meghan disabled the comments on the post; however, pals, including Serena Williams, Chrissy Teigen and Tan France, liked her inaugural video.

It has been nearly five years since Markle shared her last post on Instagram with husband Harry on their joint page, @sussexroyal.

“As we can all feel, the world at this moment seems extraordinarily fragile,” their post read. “Yet we are confident that every human being has the potential and opportunity to make a difference — as seen now across the globe, in our families, our communities and those on the front line — together we can lift each other up to realize the fullness of that promise.”

They were referring to the COVID-19 crisis in the March 30, 2020 post.

But aside from photos to form the brand’s logo, the account has no details other than a bio that says: “By Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex. Established 2024.”

Meghan’s new account features a black-and-white photo of the 43-year-old smiling in a white dress as the profile pic, and boasts 190,000 followers.

This appears to be just the beginning, as Meghan is attempting to make an epic comeback in 2025.

Aside from American Riviera Orchard, her Netflix show centring on “cooking, gardening and entertaining” will begin streaming early this year.
