Duchess's quiet pause on social media seen as strategic as reconciliation talks reportedly progress
Meghan Markle's recent silence online is fueling speculation as Prince Harry reportedly seeks to mend ties with his father, King Charles.
Although the Duchess of Sussex has distanced herself from royal duties since stepping back from the monarchy in 2020, experts believe she continues to communicate subtly, in line with royal tradition. Known for her carefully crafted public presence, Meghan's return to social media earlier this year was marked by regular updates and promotional content for her lifestyle brand, As Ever.
Lately, however, both her personal and business accounts have gone quiet. The sudden lack of activity has caught the attention of royal watchers, with some suggesting that this may be a deliberate move to avoid drawing attention during sensitive discussions between the Duke of Sussex and the King.
Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams noted the timing of Meghan's pause, calling it “curious” and likely strategic. “It must, however, be linked to tactics,” he told Express.co.uk.
Reports of a discreet meeting between senior aides from both sides earlier this month have only intensified the speculation. Although details remain under wraps, insiders see the meeting as a “step in the right direction.”
Fitzwilliams suggested the leak of the meeting may have been intentional, serving to dominate royal coverage and shift public focus toward reconciliation. “Hence the lack of posts, as they would draw no attention,” he explained.
As the Duke navigates efforts toward peace with his ailing father, Meghan's silence appears less accidental and more calculated—signalling that behind the scenes, the Sussexes may be choosing diplomacy over headlines.
