EXCLUSIVE: A PR expert has revealed the likely reason behind Meghan Markle’s decision to disable comments on her new Instagram account.

The Duchess of Sussex made a surprise return to the social media platform on New Year’s Day, with the the reveal of a simple reel of her running along a beach in California.

The mum of two is then seen bending over to draw ‘2025’ in the wet sand. Just hours later, the 43-year-old posted another surprise for her fans – the new trailer for her highly-anticipated Netflix series, ‘With Love, Meghan’.

Although fans are able to interact by ‘liking’ the posts, comments have been disabled. This has since been described as a “savvy” move by one PR expert.
