The Duke and Duchess of Sussex now have more Instagram followers than the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge after only launching their account in April.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's account, Sussex Royal, reached 11.1 million followers on Sunday.
Meanwhile, the Kensington Royal account has 11 million followers after being launched in 2015.
Harry and Markle have used the account to share key details of their life, such as the birth of their son and their step back from the royal family.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have officially overtaken Kate Middleton and Prince William in Instagram followers after launching their account less than a year ago.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's account, Sussex Royal, reached 11.1 million followers on the social media platform on Sunday.
As of the time of writing, the Kensington Royal account — which launched in 2015 — stands at 11 million.
Harry and Markle broke a world record after reaching 1 million followers less than six hours after publishing their first post back in April.
Since then, they have used Instagram to document their charitable endeavors, each month choosing to follow just one account that highlights a cause that they believe in.
They have also used the site to show milestone and personal events. For instance, they revealed the gender of their son in an Instagram post.
They have also shared candid photos of their family, including one at Archie's christening ceremony and one of the 8-month-old and Prince Harry celebrating the holidays in Canada.
Most recently, they used Instagram to announce their departure from royal life instead of making a statement through Buckingham Palace's press office.
