The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Harry and Meghan, have left social media and “do not plan” to use Twitter or Facebook to promote the work of their new Archewell foundation. This was reported this Sunday by the British newspaper The Sunday Times.
The newspaper, which cites sources close to the couple living in the United States, points out that it is also “very unlikely” that they will return to the networks in a personal capacity, after the attacks they have suffered since they got married. According to the newspaper, the decision of the Sussexes, who a year ago announced that they were distancing themselves from the British monarchy to promote their own projects and their financial independence, marks a new step in that separation.
In contrast, Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Charles and Camilla and the Dukes of Cambridge, William and Catherine, spread their activities and charities through Twitter, Instagram and Facebook, among other channels.
Before marrying Prince Harry on May 19, 2018, Meghan Markle, known as an actress on the series Suits, had a lot of presence in the networks, with almost 2 million followers on Instagram; 350 thousand on Twitter and 800 thousand likes on Facebook. It also had a website and Tig, a lifestyle blog where she promoted businesses, supported products, and offered food and travel advice.
In April 2019, they broke a record by getting a million followers in just six hours on their Instagram account (@sussexroyal), but after breaking with the Royal House to move to North America, the couple stopped using that brand.
What’s next for Harry and Meghan?
According to the British newspaper, from now on the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will focus on promoting their work in videos on the Internet, with interventions on television in the media of their choice and through their website Archewell, from which the podcast of the couple found on Spotify.
