Recently, Royal couple Meghan Markle & Prince Harry created a joint Instagram account and made Guinness World Record after reaching 1 Million followers in less than 6 hours. The account, which has the username @sussexroyal, is the couple’s first move towards independence after announcing their decision to split households from Prince William and Kate Middleton in March.
The account caused such a stir that less than six hours after splitting social media channels, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex had gained one million followers on Instagram.
According to the Guinness World Records official website, it took the duo just five hours and 45 minutes to reach the milestone, beating the previous record set by K-pop star Kang Daniel of 11 hours and 36 minutes.
Since then, the follower count has only kept growing — it now stands at 2.4 million.
