When Meghan Markle began her transition from Suits actress to the Duchess of Sussex, one of the key steps she had to make was erasing her social media presense
Formerly active on Twitter and Instagram and even running her own blog, Prince Harry's now-wife shut down her profiles before her Royal Wedding
Because as protocol goes, the Royal Family are not allowed to have personalised social media accounts
But that doesn't mean all royals have stuck to the rules. Here's the Royal Family members that display their lives on social media: Princess Eugenie Princess Eugenie, Prince Harry and Prince William's cousin, has a very public Instagram account
The 28-year-old royal, who is engaged to Jack Brooksbank, goes under the handle @princesseugenie
From sharing memes about the World Cup to opening up on her scoliosis surgery, she is very open online with her 264k followers
Lady Amelia Windsor While she might not be as well known, the 38th in line to the throne might just be one of the most stylish royals out there
Over on her Instagram account, 22-year-old Lady Amelia Windsor has everyone seriously crushing over her style
She's under the handle @amelwindsor, and goes by Mel to her 55.2k followers. Secret social media accounts? While key members of the royal family such as Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle don't have public accounts, rumour has it that the Kensington House residents do have secretive accounts
While Kate is thought to have a Mumsnet account, Meghan is thought to have kept up her online life off the record
As Royal Expert Lisa Ryan told The Cut: "It’s known that many royals have social-media presences
" She added: "Even though Meghan Markle had to cleanse her personal social-media accounts — and delete her lifestyle blog — it’s known that many royals have social-media presences
" "There’s no proof Meghan has a private Instagram or Twitter account, but don’t you get the feeling she does?” Hey, even the Queen is thought to have a secret Facebook account!
