Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have broken one of the Guinness World Records – and you’ll never guess what it is!
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle officially launched their own private Instagram on Tuesday, April 2, and the account attracted more than 300,000 followers in a matter of seconds.
It safe to say the Duke and Duchess of Sussex broke the internet, but they also broke the record for ‘fastest time to gain one million followers in Instagram’.

Guinness World Records, the global authority on record-breaking achievements, confirmed today that @Sussexroyal, the official Instagram account of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, broke the record after the account reached one million followers in just 5 hours and 45 minutes.
Pretty impressive stuff!
Their first post currently has over 1 million likes, and in a series of photos the royal couple introduced themselves onto the social media platform:
“Welcome to our official Instagram; we look forward to sharing the work that drives us, the causes we support, important announcements, and the opportunity to shine a light on key issues.”
The caption continued: “We thank you for your support, and welcome you to @sussexroyal.”- Harry & Meghan
The account has broken the existing Guinness World Records held by Kang Daniel (a singer from the Republic of Korea), who’s Instagram account gained one million followers in 11 hours, 36 minutes on the 2nd January 2019.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are expecting their first child together in mid to late April.
