Here’s Why Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Unfollowed The Royal Family on Instagram

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry‘s following list on Instagram just shrunk from 23 to 16 and no one from the royal family made the cut!

The soon-to-be parents just updated their newly launched social media page, unfollowing Kensington Royal (Prince William and Kate Middleton‘s account that they formerly shared with Meghan and Harry), Clarence House(the account of Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall), Princess Eugenie, Prince Andrew and even The Royal Family (which represents the Queen and other members of the family).

But the decision was for a meaningful reason. The couple explained in a new post that they are only following organizations that work to “promote mental well-being, mental fitness, body positivity, self-care, and the importance of human connection” this month. May is Mental Health Awareness Month in the U.S., while Mental Health Awareness Week runs from May 13 to 19 is in the U.K.
