The Duchess of Sussex has confirmed the reason behind her social media return as she stunned fans by relaunching her Instagram account and plugging a cooking show

Meghan Markle has spoken out for the first time since relaunching her Instagram account.

The Duchess of Sussex made the huge move to open up her social media account following years away. She returned with the simple handle, ‘meghan’, and one singular post, a video reel of her running on the beach. However, Meghan has since uploaded a new clip, where she made a big career announcement.

She said: “I have been so excited to share this with you! I hope you love the show as much as I loved making it. Wishing you all a fantastic new year! Thanks to our amazing crew and the team @netflix. Beyond grateful for the support – and fun! As ever, Meghan.” Meghan confirmed she will be hosting a new cooking show for Netflix titled, With Love Meghan.

Meghan will have her own Netflix show

The series will focus on cooking
In a clip for the new show, Meghan could be seen in her stunning Californian home as she cooked alongside her pals. Guests include Roy Choi, Mindy Kaling, Alice Waters, with additional acclaimed chefs and special friends. The series will launch on 15th January with eight episodes and gives fans a glimpse into her new life with Prince Harry.

A teaser for the series says: “This inspiring series, produced by Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, reimagines the genre of lifestyle programming, blending practical how-to’s and candid conversation with friends, new and old. Meghan shares personal tips and tricks, embracing playfulness over perfection and highlights how easy it can be to create beauty, even in the unexpected. She and her guests roll up their sleeves in the kitchen, the garden, and beyond, and invite you to do the same.”

Meghan’s clip on Instagram showed her using ingredients from her garden as well as fresh produce. She could be seen clapping her hands together and said: “Let’s go.” In the voice over, she said: “I have always loved taking something ordinary and elevating it. Surprising people with moments that let them know I was really thinking of them.

We are not in the pursuit of perfection, we are in the pursuit of joy.” Text on the video read: “Everyone is welcome to create wonder in every moment. With love, Meghan.”

Prince Harry could be seen in one moment at the end of the trailer as he embraced Meghan into a hug. He appeared to be sipping on a drink she had made him, while they both beamed. Their children didn’t feature in the teaser, yet it appears fans will be to be able to see into their stunning home life.

When her Instagram account relaunched this week, a video showed the royal and former actress running along the beach before she bent over to write ‘2025’ in the wet sand. The video was reportedly filmed by her husband Prince Harry amid rumours about the state of relationship. The royal duo have been appearing at events alone and Prince Harry was even forced to address the rumours by laughing it off.

In January 2018, ahead of marrying Prince Harry, Meghan deactivated her Instagram, Twitter (X) and Facebook accounts, alongside her lifestyle blog The Tig, ahead of becoming part of the Royal Family. Meghan previously hinted at her return to social media in August 2022, telling The Cut: “I’m getting back … on Instagram.”

Meghan’s new Instagram account was created in June 2022, around the time of Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee, and has had one previous username prior to its current handle. The mum-of-two and Prince Harry have an official joint Instagram account, ‘sussexroyal’, with over 9million followers.
