Someone else chimed in: “A girl has got to stay relevant.”

However, there were also some who posted in support of the Duchess, with one individual posting that Meghan was “slaying” – a slang term for someone doing well.

They wrote: “…good on her for switching her comments off. She can do whatever she wants. She keeps slaying, and a haters keep dying of envy.”

Meghan’s first post on the new Instagram page showed her running towards the surf on a pristine beach wearing a white shirt and trousers.

The playful footage shows the Duchess write out ‘2025’ in the sand as the ocean roars in the background before she gives a giggle and smile and runs off camera.

Her new profile, at the time of writing, has already amassed nearly one million followers in just 24 hours.

The Duchess of Sussex’s first look at her new lifestyle series on Netflix was announced a day after she returned to Instagram with her beach video.

A promotional synopsis of the show says: “This inspiring series, produced by Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, reimagines the genre of lifestyle programming, blending practical how-tos and candid conversation with friends, new and old.

“Meghan shares personal tips and tricks, embracing playfulness over perfection and highlights how easy it can be to create beauty, even in the unexpected.

“She and her guests roll up their sleeves in the kitchen, the garden, and beyond, and invite you to do the same.”
