Meghan and Harry shake up their Instagram to follow just 17 accounts

Fresh from a successful tour of Africa and in the midst of a war with the media, Meghan and Harry have decided to change a few things, starting with their wildly popular Instagram account.

Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, and Prince Harry have shaken up their Instagram page again this month and are now following 17 selected accounts.

The featured Instagram pages include organisations that represent “community”, including a riding stables that offers classes for disabled kids, reports The Sun.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced the new follows today on their Instagram page, which has 9.6 million followers.

Also included in the roundup are the world’s first all-women anti-poaching initiative in South Africa and a group who help homeless street kids get into surfing.

The royal couple wrote in the caption of a picture celebrating the organisations: “This month, in celebrating “community”, we asked you to share your favourite organisation from your neighbourhood or around the world.

“We want to thank everyone who made a suggestion or kindly shared a positive story! We have now updated the accounts we follow for this month to reflect many of your suggestions! Thank you!

“These organisations represent the shared value of togetherness — one that The Duke and Duchess experienced so deeply while on tour in Southern Africa.”

The Lotus Petal Family Support group, which were included in the list, said it is an “absolute honour” to be featured by the royals.

In May, it was revealed that Meghan, 38, and Harry, 35, who welcomed baby Archie the same month, would only be following accounts of causes they wanted to highlight.

At the same time, they also notably unfollowed Kate Middleton and Prince William’s @kensingtonroyal account.
