HARRY & MEGHAN: COVER-UPS, PALACEN INTRIGUE & REVENGE

BLINDSIDED MEGHAN FEARS FOR HARRY AS HE RISKS FINANCIAL RUIN AND THE WRATH OF HIS FAMILY IN A BOMBSHELL PHONE-HACKING TRIAL.

SHE’s back! On Jan. 1, Meghan Markle kicked off the new year with a return to Instagram, activating her account — @meghan — with a new post. In the brief Reel shot by her husband, Prince Harry, the Duchess of Sussex — who hasn’t had a public solo social media account since she deleted her Instagram page and closed her lifestyle blog, The Tig, in 2017— jogs down a beach and writes “2025” in the sand before flashing a smile and running away.

In the coming weeks, Harry will make waves with a headline-grabbing reentry of his own when he returns to Britain for a high-stakes court case against a media goliath. In January, he’s set to testify against 93-year-old news titan Rupert Murdoch’s News Group Newspapers (NGN) over claims journalists and private investigators hired by two of its papers, The Sun and the now-defunct News of the World, used deception, phone hacking and other unlawful activities to report on Harry from 1996 to 2001, exposing details about his private behavior and romantic relationships. “The goal is accountability,” the 40-year-old said at the New York Times Dealbook Summit in NYC on Dec. 4. “It’s really that simple.”
