Royals do not usually own personal Instagram pages. In fact, once Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's engagement went public, the former actress deleted all her personal social media accounts.
Official Palace accounts keep the people up to date with the activities of the Royals. According to Harpers Bazaar, Markle and Prince Harry are represented by the Kensington Palace accounts, while Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles are represented by Clarence House accounts.
