Meghan Markle Just Hit a Major Milestone—and I Kinda Can't Believe it Happened so Fast

Meghan Markle is wasting no time making 2025 her year. In just a few short months, she’s relaunched on Instagram (securing the one word @meghan handle), announced her new Netflix series, With Love, Meghan (premiering on March 4), attended the Invictus Games, rebranded her lifestyle venture from American Riviera Orchard to As Ever and even launched a brand-new Instagram page for the business. Now, she’s already seeing the payoff, hitting a major milestone in the process (and I really can't believe she was able to do it so fast).

Just one day into the new year, Markle made her long-awaited return to Instagram after a seven-year hiatus—and in less than two months, she’s already surpassed 2 million followers—a huge accomplishment. Despite posting only eight times so far, her account has been a mix of professional updates and personal moments, including a heartfelt tribute to her beloved beagle, Guy, who recently passed away, and a black-and-white Valentine’s Day snap of her and Prince Harry sharing a kiss.

And the celebrations don’t stop there. Markle’s As Ever Instagram account is quickly catching up, amassing over 500,000 followers in just a few days—already one-fourth of her personal account’s following.

Earlier this week, she officially debuted @aseverofficial with a dreamy snapshot teasing the brand’s aesthetic: a beautifully set outdoor table with fresh fruit, jars of what looks like her famous jam and a croissant drizzled with honey. The caption read: “You’re warmly invited: As Ever, coming Spring 2025.”
