Meghan Markle has joined the social media platform Threads, a text-based conversation app by Meta. This marks her return to public social media after leaving Instagram in 2020. Her profile currently follows no other accounts, has disabled comments, and hides her follower list. This move comes as she continues her advocacy for digital safety, particularly for young people, through her Archewell Foundation's Parent Network.
So far, Meghan isn’t following any other accounts on the website, her comments are turned off, and her full list of followers—812,000 at press time—is hidden. Before Meghan joined the royal family, she had a following of roughly 3 million people on her own Instagram account, which she closed before her 2018 wedding to Harry. For about a year, she and Harry shared an account with Prince William and Kate Middleton before launching their own “Sussex Royal” feed, which netted 4.
In 2020, Meghan and Harry began speaking out about the harassment they had received on digital platforms and joined a campaign with the group Color of Change to encourage better moderation of hate speech. The couple turned their attention to digital safety again in 2024 with the launch of Archewell’s Parent Network, which offers evidence-based digital support networks for parents whose children experienced harm on social media, like bullying or drugs acquired online.
