Meghan Markle's shock return to Instagram actually 'makes sense' because it was 'strange' she left in the first place.
The Duchess of Sussex posted on the social media site for the first time in seven years as an individual on New Year's Day, although she turned off the comments on her post.

According to the Daily Mirror's royal experts Jennifer Newton and Ann Gripper, this move to join Instagram should not have come as a surprise to anyone.
Speaking on the Pod Save The Queen podcast, royal features writer Jennifer said: "It kind of does make sense because at the minute they (Meghan Markle and Prince Harry) don't have anywhere to promote their work.

"This obviously comes into people's feeds. Is it going to be a place where she puts on: 'I've been to this charity or I've visited this place.' Or is it going to be what she did before where it was snippets of her life. Is she going to show her at home with Harry and the kids?"

Don't miss... Meghan Markle blasted over 'painfully forced' move and dubbed 'least relatable' [LATEST]
Meghan's hotly-anticipated first post on the platform under her new @meghan handle appeared on January 1. It featured an Instagram reel video filmed by Harry and showing the duchess running on the beach and writing 2025 in the sand.
It is believed the Duchess of Sussex set up the account in June 2022 and the following summer internet sleuths found an account with the @meghan handle with a profile picture showing pink peonies.
With both Meghan and her husband being heavily critical of social media companies, Daily Mirror executive editor Ann Gripper thinks it was 'strange' the former royal couple went off Instagram in the first place as they like to 'control their own narrative'.
She told the podcast: "I think we've talked about in the past about how strange it is for people who do want to control their own narrative that they didn't have that direct link.

"However much they have their own particular media friends who will put out a more Meghan and Harry friendly view of the world, or certainly a less critical one, it will always then be filtered and it is not them and their true selves."
Meghan has been praised over her 'genius' decision to disable comments on her return to Instagram.
Just hours after he return, Meghan released the trailer for her new eight-part Netflix series titled 'With Love, Meghan', which will air on January 15.
Online safety expert Ryan T Williams told Express.co.uk: "Meghan’s decision to disable comments is genius. It ties into the work she’s doing alongside Harry and Archewell about keeping children safe online; she’s practising what she preaches.
"Prioritising her mental health and keeping her space positive is her prerogative. Why should she open herself up to trolls with nothing better to do than send her abuse?"
