Who usSussexRoyal, the former Instagram account of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, was active, counted the same number of followers as ensKensingtonRoyal owned by Prince William and Kate Middleton. As long as the couple online Harry Meghan was the most popular, it was seen as suspicious the fact that @KensingtonRoyal counted as a follower as @SussexRoyal. However, the Instagram account of Prince William and Kate already has more followers and it seems that this is not related to the fact that usSussexRoyal has stopped the activity .
According to People, as soon as Harry and Meghan announced they would no longer use it usSussexRoyal, William and Kate rushed to hire David Watkins, the former Instagram manager of Harry and Meghan.
Referring to the profile on LinkedIn, Watkins is already the manager of the social networks of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridges. It is not clear when David started collaborating with them, but in fact the change is noticed on Instagram.
