Princess Eugenie is the latest royal to join Instagram, but she's far from alone. While most members of the British royal family personally refrain from posting on social media, a select few have their own Instagram accounts. And when it comes to royal families around the world, several princes and princesses share intimate snapshots from their lives on a regular basis. Here are some of the best:
1. Princess Eugenie
Meghan Markle deleted her Instagram account to join the British royal family, but Princess Eugenie has bucked tradition by securing her own verified account on the platform. She launched her new social media presence to celebrate International Women's Day.
2. Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York
Princess Eugenie's mother, Sarah Ferguson, is on Instagram already. She was married to Prince Andrew, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip's son, with whom she has two daughters. Despite divorcing the Prince in 1996, she remains a member of the royal family.
3. Arthur Chatto
Chatto made headlines in 2017 for posting topless snaps on Instagram. The grandson of the late Princess Margaret, Chatto was best known for being Queen Elizabeth II's pageboy, before his abs became famous, that is. According to Hello! (opens in new tab) Chatto's original account has been deactivated, so this new one may or may not be legit.
4. Lady Kitty Spencer
Lady Kitty Spencer is Princess Diana's niece, and the resemblance is uncanny. She modeled in Dolce and Gabbana's "Secrets & Diamonds" show (opens in new tab) in Feb. 2018, and she also featured in one of their print campaigns (opens in new tab) earlier this year.
