The rivalry between the Sussexes and the Cambridges has reached a new level, as Meghan Markle and Prince Harry‘s Instagram has overtaken Kate Middleton and Prince William‘s account in terms of the most popular posts.
While both boast an enormous following of 11.2 million people, when it comes to the actual images that have been shared the Sussex Royal account features in seven of the 10 most popular posts across the two royal accounts, according to Express.co.uk.
Only three of those most popular posts came from the Kensington Royal account, accounting for just 6.5 million of the total 24,377,458 likes.
The Sussex Royal account managed to bag a total of 17,867,162 of the total likes, as their posts made up seven of the top 10.
Prince William and Kate – whose account was originally shared with the Sussexes before they launched their own profile in April 2019 – have posted a total of 2,021 posts on their account, while Meghan and Harry have amassed the same following with just 192.
Earlier this month it came to light that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Sussex Royal Instagram account had been falling a bit flat.
While the social media account is renowned for its life-affirming messages, fans had noticed fewer original posts since the royal couple stepped down in January.
Amid the drama surrounding their decision to quit the royal family and move to Canada, Harry and Meghan had only posted old snaps from pervious engagements on the account.
However, the couple have upped their social media game again lately, with recent posts showing Prince Harry’s visit to Scotland last week, as well as his singalong with rock legend Jon Bon Jovi.
Recorded inside Abbey Road Studios, home to The Beatles and other music legends, The Duke of Sussex joined Jon Bon Jovi and the Invictus Games Choir for a special live session in aid of the Invictus Games Foundation on Friday.
