The countdown is on… Only four months until the most anticipated wedding of the year. As Meghan Markle prepares to officially join the royal family, she’s letting go of some aspect of her past life: She left her TV show Suits, closed down her blog The Tig, and most recently deleted all of her social media accounts.

People magazine received a statement from a Kensington Palace source explaining the move: “Ms. Markle is grateful to everyone who has followed her social media accounts over the years. However as she has not used them for some time she has taken the decision to close them.”

If you still want to follow Markle’s every move, you can still rely on Kensington Palace’s official Instagram and Twitter accounts, which have already been chronicling her and Prince Harry’s public appearances, engagement photo shoots, and more. Other royal accounts include @ClarenceHouse, which keeps tabs on Prince Charles and Camilla, as well as @TheRoyalFamily, which focuses on Queen Elizabeth II’s activities.

The official social media accounts are great news because we know Meghan Markle is a major source of outfit inspiration. Be sure to see how she recently styled the chicest winter outfit combo of 2018.

Erin Fitzpatrick
Senior News Editor

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 12 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of senior news editor (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
