This morning, the world awoke to discover that Sussex Royal, the official Instagram account of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, aka Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, now follows zero accounts on Instagram. According to Sussex Royal, the Duke and Duchess are looking to "highlight various causes, people, or organizations doing amazing things for their communities and the world at large," so they have cleared their own account in order to shine a spotlight on some of these causes.
Their latest post asks followers to comment with suggestions of people and organizations who serve as forces for change — and every month, Sussex Royal will select 15 of these suggested accounts to feature every month, starting next Monday.

This announcement comes just as the September issue of British Vogue, for which Markle served as the guest editor, is about to hit newsstands. The issue is called Forces for Change and will highlight 15 women selected by Markle and British Vogue editor-in-chief Edward Enninful who are "redefining our world for the better" in their respective fields. Among those featured are actress Jameela Jamil, who advocates for body positivity; Nigerian author Chimamanda Adichie, an activist for gender equality; New Zealand prime minister Jacinda Ardern, who brought her country together in the aftermath of a deadly mass shooting; and Somali boxer Ramla Ali, the first Muslim woman to win a boxing title in England.
