Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have made a statement on their Instagram page.

Earlier this year, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry split from Kate Middleton and Prince William and the Kensington Palace Instagram page to create their own platform, Sussex Royal.

While the decision sparked feud speculation between the two royal couples, others saw the choice as simply a way for each couple to showcase their particular passions and causes.

Now, the Sussex Royal page has unfollowed the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s page Kensington Palace.

While it may sound like there’s been a fall out, Sussex Royal has in fact unfollowed all royal Instagram accounts.
