Meghan and Harry in 2019 Top 25 Most Influential
Meghan and Harry have been included in Time Magazine's 2019 Top 25 Most Influential People on the Internet List
The write up on Time Magazine's website states "the British royal family is a notoriously tight-knit
institution. So when Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, and Meghan Markle, Duchess
of Sussex, launched an independent social media account on Instagram in April,
@SussexRoyal, it was bound to make waves. The handle reached 1 million
followers in its first six hours, a platform record. (It’s since accrued 9.1
million.) While baby photos are among @SussexRoyal’s draws, most posts are
dedicated to the pair’s work as royals. Each month, in an effort to highlight
advocates and organizations focusing on issues such as climate change and
mental health awareness, the account rotates the users it follows—a savvy
strategy that has driven headlines. The Sussexe's’ forward-thinking,
cause-oriented approach to social media fits neatly with other ways they are
establishing their identity beyond the crown. In June, the palace confirmed
that the couple will be departing the Royal Foundation, which was started by
Prince Harry and Prince William in 2009, to launch their own, separate
charitable organization."
