Ever since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle began their own Instagram account,\u00a0@SussexRoyal<\/a>, Royal watchers noticed a couple of key clues which suggested the Duchess Of Sussex wrote her own Instagram captions.<\/p>\n

For me, this notion was evidenced when Markle penned a guest editor\u2019s letter for\u00a0British Vogue<\/em>\u00a0<\/a>in September of 2019. Her tone seemed so similar to the wordsmith behind the royal Instagram account. While accounts such as these are usually managed by a social media monitor, @royalsussex\u2019s words spoke directly to the reader from a place of heartfelt authority. They, in part, seemed more specific than a safe, run-of-the-mill Royal presser and a lot of the time were filled with very specific details which tugged at the heartstrings \u2013 in the same way a post from Markle\u2019s debunked blog The Tig<\/em>\u00a0did.<\/p>\n

For others though, the proof runs much deeper. At one point, a post on the couple\u2019s Instagram referenced the American phrase \u201choliday season\u201d and not the European word \u201cChristmas.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the festive holiday season upon us, it\u2019s also a reminder of those in need \u2013 those who feel lonely, hungry, homeless, or may be experiencing the holidays of the first time without loved ones,\u201d it read. \u201cIt\u2019s an important time of years to help those around you who may be less fortunate, or who would appreciate even the smallest act of kindness.\u201d<\/p>\n

Perhaps the most telling sign that Markle was indeed behind the Instagram account was the spelling of certain words. In April 2019, the editor of the account wrote \u201cenergized\u201d instead of \u201cenergised\u201d (the \u201cs\u201d is more common in the British style).<\/p>\n

Now, according to new book Finding Freedom<\/em> \u2013 a much-hyped biography by Royal reporters Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand \u2013 one of the young couple\u2019s key frustrations with the Royal institution was their \u201cinability to speak for themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLaunching the account was a somewhat liberating experience for Meghan,\u201d an aide shared with the authors. \u201cNot having a platform of her own to talk directly to the public was one of the toughest changes for her, especially after building so much of her own brand on Instagram and her blog. @SussexRoyal meant that she finally had a place to curate.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMeghan drafted a lot of the posts herself in the early days,\u201d reveal the authors. \u201cIt was one of the things that kept her occupied during her final days of pregnancy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Well there you have it.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for Markle and Prince Harry has denied that the couple had anything to do with the book. But there\u2019s so much detail in this biography \u2013 and the access is so close to the couple \u2013 that many are suggesting the Duke and Duchess must have had some sort of sign-off prior to publication.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":25,"featured_media":320,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[23,16],"yoast_head":"\nYes, Meghan Markle Wrote Those @SussexRoyal Instagram Captions<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Ever since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle began their own Instagram account,\u00a0@SussexRoyal, Royal watchers noticed a couple of key clues which suggested the then-Duchess Of Sussex wrote her own Instagram captions.
