We just realised today that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have unfollowed literally everyone on their official Instagram account.
But before you accused the Duke and Duchess of Sussex of thinking they’re above everyone else, there’s actually a good reason behind it. The royal couple has decided to use their social media platform to highlight certain charities. 15, to be exact.

The objective is to push for more significant shift in strategy. In conjunction of British Vogue’s “Forces for Change” issue – in which Meghan guest-edited – the duo asked their followers to suggest organisations (charity, nonprofit, or activist accounts) that deserve more spotlight.
This is the first time where Harry and Meghan have sought input from the public. According to Vanity Fair, the post received more than 20,000 comments within the first 12 hours. As at time of writing, the post has garnered 230k likes and 32.9k comments. Next week, the couple will select 15 accounts to follow based on the suggestions given.
