Meghan Markle finally has an Instagram again, sort of

OK, technically it's Meghan *and* Harry's account. But we'll take it.

This is NOT a drill, folks! Meghan Markle, boat neck icon, is back on Instagram!

Sort of.

Once an avid poster, the Duchess of Sussex deleted her personal social media accounts a little more than a year ago. A "palace source" at the time told People that since she hadn't used her accounts in a while, "she has taken the decision to close them."

Markle also shut down her blog, The Tig, shortly before the royal wedding. For months, the only way to get updates on the couple's life was through official palace social handles that posted on behalf of all the royal siblings and their spouses: Meghan, Harry, Kate, and William.

But as The Cut points out, the royal couple's fans hoped that once Harry and Meghan split households from William and Kate, they'd get their own account.

The official Kensington Palace Instagram account welcomed the handle @SussexRoyal on Tuesday, ushering in a new era of Harry and Meghan posts.

Here's their first post which is upsettingly formal, but we'll take it.

We still have so many questions — what's up with that cover photo? Is the M for Meghan? Is this Meghan's account, with occasional cameos from Harry? Will we see any spon con from the royal household? Does Meghan follow astrology meme accounts?

I, personally, am living for royal boomerangs.
