Instagram just got a bit more royal.

Prince has decided to join the social media site, aptly dubbing his account "Princestagram." The iconic singer, who has a tenuous relationship with social media and the Internet in general, joined Instagram three days ago. Naturally, he's already uploaded 88 photos.

He previously had an Instagram account in 2014, but deleted it, along with his Twitter and Facebook account.

Here's the first picture he posted on the newly-restored account.

Prince also dropped in some Dave Chappelle, a good pal.
