The Royals You Should Follow On Instagram

Double taps all around

While we’re still not over the fact that Meghan Markle had to shut her account down, there are plenty of other royals on the ‘gram to keep us happy!

While most members of the British royal family personally refrain from posting on social media, a select few have their own Instagram accounts. 

And when it comes to royal families around the world, several princes and princesses share intimate snapshots from their lives on a regular basis. Here are some of the best:

PRINCE CARL PHILLIP OF SWEDEN AND WIFE PRINCESS SOFIA:

Up until now Prince Carl Phillip of Sweden and wife, Princess Sopfia’s Instagram was private, but now the glamorous royal couple have gone public.

“Welcome to our official Instagram account,” they wrote after opening up their account. “As you can see, we have already posted photos for a while to give you an insight into our work, the tasks we carry out and above all the issues we are passionate about. Hope you want to follow us!”

PRINCESS EUGENIE

Meghan Markle deleted her Instagram account to join the British royal family, but Princess Eugenie has bucked tradition by securing her own verified account on the platform. She launched her new social media presence to celebrate International Women’s Day.
