The symbolism that Meghan Markle chose for her stunning New Year’s Day return to Instagram, the day before announcing her splashy new Netflix lifestyle show, could not be any more clear.

In classic, black-and-white imagery, a video, reportedly shot by Prince Harry, shows the Duchess of Sussex, barefoot and wearing a casual, flowing white shirt and white Capri pants.
She runs towards the surf of the Pacific Ocean near her home in the US state of California on a wintry-looking day. Laughing playfully, she writes a cursive “2025” in the sand.
Meghan’s new Instagram profile photo shows her in another, sunnier beach shot, wearing a slip-style cotton dress that is also very white.
She also wears a large smile, as well as her only adornment, an elegantly simple diamond necklace – which British tabloid the Daily Mail said sells for US$15,000. A day after being launched, the @meghan Instagram account had amassed over a million followers.
Meghan’s Instagram return after five years was followed by the announcement on January 2, in tandem with Netflix, that she is launching her long-anticipated lifestyle show on January 15.
