Meghan Markle And Prince Harry Are One Of ‘Time’ Mag’s Most Influential People on the Internet

Time magazine released its fifth annual roundup of the 25 Most Influential People on the Internet, and of course the Duke and Duchess of Sussex made the list following their newly launched Instagram page.

The couple’s @SussexRoyal Instagram account was dropped in April, around the same time they moved from Kensington Palace to Frogmore Cottage in Windsor Castle. According to reports, the account broke records by acquiring 1 million followers in just six hours.

“While baby photos are among @SussexRoyal’s draws, most posts are dedicated to the pair’s work as royals,” Time reports. “Each month, in an effort to highlight advocates and organizations focusing on issues such as climate change and mental health awareness, the account rotates the users it follows—a savvy strategy that has driven headlines.”

Other folks who made the list are Jada Pinkett Smith, Korean boy band BTS, and Ariana Grande.

This evening, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex attended #TheLionKing European premiere in London at the Odeon Theatre. In celebration of the film’s release, The Walt Disney Company announced #ProtectThePride, a global conservation campaign to support efforts protecting the rapidly diminishing lion population across Africa. As a part of their commitment to this cause, Disney also made a donation to The Duke of Sussex’s upcoming environment & community initiative which will be formally announced this autumn. The Duke and Duchess are committed to advancing conservation efforts across Africa and around the world, and working with communities to ensure a sustainable future for the planet. This evening Their Royal Highnesses had the pleasure of meeting the cast and creative team behind the film, as well as supporters of @africanparksnetwork, of which The Duke is President.
