Images Deleted From Meghan Markle’s Instagram

1. A shoutout to the followers

Image source/worldationLong gone are the days when Meghan Markle was trying to promote her Instagram account and was thanking her followers for reaching milestones such as 100k. The sexy chair pose was clearly a treat for her followers. What we especially love is the #wow #grateful hashtags. We agree with Meghan Markle - this post had to go.

2. Kisses on the cheek of her co-star

Image source/mamamiaThis picture really was just Markle kissing her Suits co-star Patrick a friendly kiss on the cheek. But some fans thought it was TOO friendly. Particularly when she was first linked with the royals, she received backlash, and this photo was amongst many to get swiftly deleted.

3. Just casually chilling on the floor in work attire

Image source/obsevQuick take a picture of me while I'm just casually lay on the floor.... There's definitely nothing candid about this photo. And there's also something a little bit risqué about it which Markle's followers' thought was a little bit too much, especially considering at the time she was about to be married to the prince.

4. A little bit CHEEKY

Image source/obsevMeghan Markle was definitely not afraid of a little bit of naughty humour - or, of showing off her body. The photo which shows the close up of her jeans 'touch my butt and buy me pizza' was deleted swiftly before marrying the prince because it's pretty much the last thing we associate with royal etiquette.

5. Cosy with her ex-husband

Image source/biancagrandIt makes sense that Trevor Engleson features on Meghan Markle's Instagram...they were married after all. The couple were together for two years before they filed for divorce. Markle of course, has deleted any trace of him from her Instagram account now.

6. Posing with a Pils beer

Image source/worldationThis Instagram photo literally looks like an advertisement for Pils - and I bet they were very happy when she posted it because even before Harry, she had a large following due to her acting career. Another thing we can't help but notice (and envy) is how toned her arms are!

7. Mirror selfie on the bed

Image source/PinterestPicture Markle here...and picture Markle now. The two images are very different. Here we have a mirror selfie sat cross legged on the bed. Now, she's never caught with so much as a hair out of place to go along with her new and sophisticated look. No wonder this post had to go.

8. Her comb over and sultry look face

Image source/TheSunMarkle has perfected the art of a sultry face pose. She's also attempted the voluminous hair which was all the rage a few years ago before the slick look became fashionable, by combing her entire hair to one side. It's pretty far from the simple and slick looks she has now.

9. Gutting fish

Image source/nowtolovePerhaps Markle thought that sticking her hands into a raw fish and gutting it wasn't the kind of image she wanted to portray now she's with Harry. Who knows why? But this photo did not make the cut of Instagram posts to keep and instead went straight to delete.

10. ANOTHER selfie for the gram

Image source/welovemeghanmarkleMarkle used to be a regular uploader on Instagram and her followers were more than used to Meghan Markle posting a selfie every other day or so. She's even using the exact same facial pose as she does in many of her selfies...maybe another reason why this was also deleted.

11. Markle even used the dog face filter

Image source/YouTubeIt's good to know that even Meghan Markle did not manage to escape the dog face filter era and she too along with the rest of us posted a dog face selfie - or maybe a few. And she went on the marry a Prince (albeit no longer), so there's hope for us all yet.

12. A dog on either side and a glass of wine

Image source/PinterestWell, this deleted photo from Markle's Instagram is pretty much most people's idea of heaven. Two cute dogs snuggling up on the sofa and a glass of wine in hand. There's definitely nothing wrong with his photo. Still, this can no longer be found on Markle's Instagram.

13. Peace out

Image source/PinterestAnother picture which makes us realise that Meghan Markle was once just like the rest of us - apart from the fact she's flying in a helicopter and is a super-rich actress. But she does the same 'go-to/don't know what to do' pose as the rest of us! Well...not now of course.

14. Her candid laughing picture

Image source/newseley'Okay, act candid and fake laugh while we cheers our drink for the photo'... come on, we've all done it. There's nothing better than a not candid, candid photo for Instagram. In fact, this looks like a boomerang in the making. We may love this photo, but she clearly does not, and this too was another deleted picture.

15. Berry cheesy

Image source/PinterestIt's cute...if not slightly cheesy. But we can definitely see that it does not live up to her new polished professional woman image. So, it's really no wonder that she deleted it. It's interesting to have a peek at the past version of Meghan Markle...

16. Her naughty sense of humour

Image source/PinterestClearly this is something that would no longer be approved of on Meghan Markle's Instagram page. And it stirred quite a bit of controversy when it came to light in her deleted Instagram pictures. Even though she's no longer part of the royal family...she's still associated with them.

17. Smile for the camera

Image source/Daily ExpressHere's the selfie queen back at it. She may have loved this close-up smiling selfie may back in the day - but now she wants it nowhere to be seen as she deleted it from her account. What once brought her popularity and likes now brings her criticism and negative attention.

18. Roast chicken anyone?

Image source/celebritywotnotIs this Meghan Markle's pose to try and look as demure as possible? Or is it this just a - I've cooked a whole roast chicken perfectly kind of face? Who knows. Either way, it's probably no surprise that this picture is no longer available on her Instagram feed.

19. A smoothie for two

Image source/UNILADMarkle is having some kind of healthy looking green smoothie, but it looks like the dog wants it just as much. We love the Markle has kept it real with no makeup and she's even been confident enough to share her skin with natural imperfections. But she clearly did not want this on her Instagram anymore.

20. Take a picture of me with the food

Image source/harpersbazaarYou can hear it now - 'just take another while I look at my food and hold my fork like I'm in the middle of eating to look more natural'. It looks very posed, but she looks good, and the food looks good so what's not to love. Clearly, she no longer feels the same way.

21. When you can't think of a pose to do...act shocked.

Image source/PinterestWhat Meghan Markle is fake shocked about here, we don't know. But we suspect it was a pose she thought looked cutest at the time. Or she'd overused the usual poses and wanted to vary her selfies on her Instagram feed. It's definitely the kind of picture you look back on cringe slightly...

22. A glimpse into her past life

Image source/bristolpostWhat we see of Meghan Markle is so removed from the life she used to lead that it is hard to associate one with another. When we look at these deleted photos such as her on vacation n smiling with her friend here, we see that she once had a much more normal lifestyle before celebrity life.

23. A very young-looking Meghan

Image source/PinterestMeghan Markle looks SO much younger here in this photo, in both her physical appearance and in her style. It's understandable that when we do grow out of these phases, we no longer want to see a reminder of them. And particularly not for the whole world to see...

24. The selfie queen

Image source/PinterestNow if there's one thing Meghan Markle loved before marrying Harry...is a good selfie. She was the queen of selfies, and she especially - like here - loved a sunglasses vacation Instagram post. This was amongst the other numerous posts to get deleted.

25. Pictures with the bestie

Image source/PinterestThis is one of those pictures which captures a moment, and the two of them are best friends and clearly just enjoying each other's presence and laughing together. It's cute, but maybe Markle thought that this belonged in the past as a mark of her younger years.

26. Happy Halloween

Image source/PinterestEveryone lovies Halloween, and clearly Meghan Markle is as big a fan as any. She's celebrating by posing with this pumpkin in front of her face giving the illusion that it's her head. She may no longer like this deleted Instagram photo - but we definitely do.

27. Put your hands up if you're having a good time

Image source/newseleyThis is the kind of photo where your friend uploads it, and you tell them to delete it because you've been caught at a bad angle. But she's clearly having a great time and looks to be singing. This was one of the first photos to get deleted from her Instagram.

28. Drinking two glasses of wine at once

Image source/mystylenewsWe know that Meghan Markle is partial to a tipple...or two, as we can see here. But we can certainly see why she'd delete this photo. It may have been funny back then, but it's definitely not the reputation she wants now. Imagine if King Charles could see it...

29. Something MUST be funny

Image source/obsevIsn't this how we all want to look when we're laughing really hard - still managing to look cute while most of us experience the crinkled-up face and even maybe a pig like snort when we laugh too hard. But perhaps being in silk pyjamas was no longer seen as appropriate...

30. Hanging out

Image source/worldationWitnessing Meghan Markle hanging out of a jacuzzi is certainly not something we are accustomed to. Nut, this is an old photo from her Instagram feed when she used to let her followers into a much more private side of her life. Before she swapped the sunny shades for the power suit.

31. Meghan And Her Suits Co-Star

Image Source / Now To LoveIt's safe to say that any cheeky backstage photos from her time on Suits probably had to be deleted after she became royalty, and even though this shot is savoury compared to ones of her led on the floor in a skirt, for instance, apparently it was still one that had to go in the bin.

32. The Uggs Selfie

Image Source / Now To LoveWhat would be more insulting as a royal posting photos on social media? Seeing that a member of the royal family has a huge pair of Uggs, or seeing them with their legs out? Well this mirror selfie reveals both of those faux pas's as a royal who needs to be careful about how she looks in public...

33. Elevator Selfie

Image Source / Now To LoveApparently absolutely anywhere with a mirror is fair game for Meghan Markle, and this elevator journey was no different. It looks like she might have wanted to show off her cute winter sweater - or maybe her cute casual outfit? Who knows. You'd think she'd just enjoy that moment of peace of being alone on an elevator, wouldn't you?

34. This Message From Her Suit's Co-Star's Kid

Image Source / Now To LoveThis is a really cute message that was done for Meghan by the child of her co-star who plays Donna on the show. It might have been nicer to get more of the actual message in though, rather than Meghan herself taking up the majority of the photo... but hey, it's just another selfie opportunity, isn't it.

35. Her Adopted Pups

Image Source / Now To LoveThere's no way you can begrudge someone posting a million photos of their adorable pups, and Meghan has always been proud and vocal about adopting and not shopping when it comes to buying a new dog. She's definitely a proud dog mama based on her posts.

36. But She Doesn't Only Post Photos Of The Dogs On Their Own

Image Source / Now To LoveBut when you're a proud dog mama - and an actress turned royalty looking for as much exposure as poss - you're obviously going to include yourself in a dog selfie or two. So here she is playing the big spoon to one of her adorable dogs. It is cute, though.

37. The Bikini, Book And Dog Picture

Image Source / Now To LoveShowing this amount of skin as a royal is an absolute no-no, so it's no surprise it would have to have been deleted. Which is a shame seeing as it's an adorable shot of her cuddling up with one of her pooches again, as well as giving us the chance to zoom in to see what book she's reading.

38. Does That Flag Look Familiar?

Image Source / Now To LoveYou'd think that this one would be allowed to stay on all social media platforms for all time, not only because of the heart-melting picture of the dog, but because it's showcasing the United Kingdom flag. We wonder if this pooch's jumper was a gift from a member of the royal family?

39. Another Vacation Snap

Image Source / Now To LoveHere we have Meghan soaking up the sun on Italy's Amalfi Coast. The trouble with this one when you're a royal is it's probably showing too much skin, once again. That's not too much leg for a hot vacation, but it's too much leg if you need to be a prim and proper royal, alas.

40. Her Iceland Photo

Image Source / Now To LoveNot really sure why this would be inappropriate as a royal, but maybe it was just a blanket deletion of any of her previous travel memories. Or maybe because she's wearing pants instead of skirt and stockings. The weirdest thing about this picture was the caption, though: "Let's do this again sometime soon. You're so pretty, and really nice too. Just my type." Yeah, that's a bit ick.

41. Her World Vision Trip To Rwanda

Image Source / Now To LoveNot really sure why this would need to be deleted as surely it plays into the whole 'royal doing humanitarian work' vibe? This was Meghan visiting some children in Rwanda, and shortly after this trip was when she and Prince Harry officially started dating. So maybe she had to get rid of anything that happened in her life pre-Harry?

42. Her Travel Kit

Image Source / Now To LoveMaybe the problem with this one was that her notebook was monogrammed and now she needs to be known as her royal title initials only? Either way she got rid of this snap of her trusty travel kit, including passport, notebook and the book she's planning to read on her travels.

43. Meghan And One Of Her Many Dines Out

Image Source / Now To LoveWe all know those shots of 'here's what I'm eating' are popular on Instagram, and apparently Meghan has never been any different. A lot of her social media was shots like this, either of her eating or drinking, and here she's showing off a generous plate of nachos.

44. This Yoga Shot

Image Source / Now To LoveIf you weren't looking at a royal, this shot would not only be an amazing travel shot, but pretty impressive for yogis, too. Unfortunately, any shot of Meghan in a bikini would be a no-go since becoming a royal, but one of her being extra flexible with a leg in the air? Absolutely not.

45. Her Men's Health Photo Shoot

Image Source / The SunMeghan might have deleted her social medias, but that doesn't mean that her old modelling shots aren't still out there. This shoot for Men's Health plays up to that unrealistic idea guys have of 'oh I want a naturally beautiful woman who doesn't care what she eats but isn't fat but doesn't go to the gym'.

46. The Ice Cream Stack

Image Source / The SunYou can judge whether you think Meghan used to post far too many photos of her eating things, or whether this is just the social media norm. But this ice cream stack with her eating it probably isn't the most appropriate snap for a modest royal, apparently...

47. Meghan Did A Lot Of Photo Shoots Before Marrying Prince Harry

Image Source / The SunIt goes without saying that any saucy photoshoot Meghan did before marrying Prince Harry would have to be removed from social media - especially suggestive shots like this one where she's seen stripping off some layers with a sultry look.. It obviously worked on Harry, though.

48. That Public Phone Box Doesn't Look Too Clean

Image Source / The SunMeghan doesn't have to worry about doing any more photo shoots like this now that she's a royal - neither does she have to worry about using a public payphone like a commoner. This is one of the shots that had to go bye-bye in her social media purge - maybe because of her showing her legs, too.

49. Bra-Less

Image Source / The SunAbsolutely nothing wrong with not wearing a bra because who actually wants to wear one of those uncomfortable things, but when you're a royal not only should you be wearing a bra, but probably under 10 layers of 'modest' clothing, too. Which is why this photo simply won't do!

50. Meghan Shared (And Had To Delete) Many Shots Out With Friends

Image Source / The SunAnd famous friends at that! Meghan had lots of travel snaps, foodie snaps and photos of her out and about with friends that she had to delete. Here she's seen in New York with actress Priyanka Chopra and by the looks of the playbill, out to see Hamilton!

51.

Image Source/ Meghan Markle InstagramMeghan was honoured with giving a talk to the UN in 2015, the event is snapped here, where she has marked her territory with her purse and bottle of juice. In the caption, Meghan expressed how excited she was to be giving the talk and to be placed so close to Hillary Clinton.

52.

Image Source/ Meghan Markle InstagramIf there's anything Meghan is good for, it's wearing the sleekest, simplistic, bold clothes. While her outfit here is just black, it's all about elegance and class while she stands before a posh table-clothed gig. Meghan loved posting pics of the outfits she wore to events.

53.

Image Source/ Meghan Markle InstagramFun fact, the pair of culottes Megan is posing in were actually designed by her friend Misha Nonoo. My biggest wonder is whether all these clothes and shoes around her is actually her wardrobe. If so, where is the organization Meghan?! I can't bear the chaos.

54.

Image Source/ Meghan Markle InstagramMeghan loves attending events, and the New York Fashion Week is just one of them. Back in 2016, when Meghan attended the prestigious event, she snapped a quick pic with one of her close friends, the formidable tennis player Serena Williams. What a pair!

55.

Image Source/ Meghan Markle InstagramThis is a pic of Meghan right before doing what she loved most: acting. Fortunately for her, she was bless with a fabulous hair and make-up team that would do her up the right way. She wrote regularly about her gratefulness of the team on her blog, The Tig.

56.

Image Source/ Meghan Markle InstagramBefore Meghan met Prince Harry she did many generous and wonderful things to support our troops in Afghanistan. This photo of Meghan was snapped in light of the US servicemen fighting in war back in 2015 after a USO tour. Also, she looks amazing here too!

57.

Image Source/ Meghan Markle InstagramMeghan is a jetsetter, and that's a fact. Before she had to scrutinise her social media, she would take to the platforms and post pics of herself all around the world, like this one here in Mexico. Taken in May 2016, Meghan seemed to enjoy soaking up the sun while taking a dip in her pool.

58.

Image Source/ Meghan Markle InstagramIf you know anything about Meghan, you know she's all about politics, and that shows. She enjoys getting involved in causes she holds dear to her heart. Here you can see Meghan posted a photo of herself deep in conversation with the Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

59.

Image Source/ Meghan Markle InstagramIt's been told that Meghan is polite to anybody that she meets, and that also includes the long-time legend Larry King. Here you can see Meghan giving him a brief hug, which she later then posted on her Instagram. I wonder what made her take it down?!

60.

Image Source/ Meghan Markle InstagramIt seems like Meghan loved booking herself into plush hotels before booking herself into the Buckingham Palace. Care-free Markle makes the most of her hotel's amenities by wrapping herself in a luxury hotel robe and posing joyfully on the massive bed.

61.

Image Source/ Meghan Markle InstagramMeghan Markle was crazy about her pup Bogart and posted him at every opportunity. In this one, our true King Bogart dons a majestic woven throne while waiting patiently for someone to bring him his wine. Now if that's not royalty, I don't know what is!

62.

Image Source/ Meghan Markle InstagramMeghan fancies herself a bit of an interior designer, and her previous guest bedroom proved this fact. With a light-coloured theme going on, Meghan opted for a more unfinished look and topped it all off with this painting by Inslee Fariss, estimated at $650.

63.

Image Source/ Meghan Markle InstagramLike the US royals they are, Barack and Michelle endured a life of publicity during Barack's stint as Prime Minister. Meghan looks shellshocked to meet one of her idols when she was caught in conversation with Barack, his bodyguard giving the pout of approval from behind.

64.

Image Source/ Meghan Markle InstagramSeems that Meghan had herself down as quite the Instagram influencer. In true Tumblr style, Meghan posted this photo of a book she was reading, alongside her passport, some grapes and a cup of tea to wash it all down with. Do you think she was at an airport?

65.

Image Source/ Meghan Markle InstagramFor those that have watched Suits, you'll know exactly who this icon is that's posing beside her friend Meghan Markle... Donna (or, Sarah Rafferty). Meghan withstood long-lasting friendships with her colleagues on suits and many of them even turned up to her wedding.

66.

Image Source/ Meghan Markle InstagramNow this is a crazily young picture and looks so different to the Princess we know now. Here, Meghan snaps a cheeky elevator selfie with a couple of friends as they checked themselves into a nice hotel. I wonder if she still speaks to them now since marrying Harry?

67.

Image Source/ Meghan Markle InstagramIt's hard to tell if this was an ad or give away, but Meghan loved posing with her favourite products and this photo was no exception. It was also posted onto her blog, The Tig, which she closed down back in April 2017. Whatever it is she's holding, I want it.

69.

Image Source/ Meghan Markle InstagramAfter the extremely controversial Brexit vote back in 2016, much of the country (and the world) were shaken by Britain's decision to leave the EU, and Meghan was no exception. Post-Brexit, she posted this photo of a protestor, expressing her views on the whole matter.

70.

Image Source/ Meghan Markle InstagramWho needs someone to buy them flowers when you can do that yourself? Meghan dons a power stance as she stands in her ripped jeans in the backyard of her sunny Toronto home. It seems that the sun was a bit much for Meghan this particular day, so she had no choice put to whip the glasses out.

71.

Image Source/ Meghan Markle InstagramRight before she met hubby-to-be Prince Harry, Meghan shared a few touching words with her followers about the single life. She offered her own advice in February 2017, re-posting writing she had originally written for her website The Tig back in 2015.

72.

Image Source/ Meghan Markle InstagramBack in the early days of her relationship with Prince Harry, Meghan Markle and him would take to some pretty interesting areas and snap a few cute pics, like this one. She was adjusting to London, which was now part of her home, while sporting a Ralph Lauren cap.

73.

Image Source/ Meghan Markle InstagramDo you think this was a bit of foreshadowing on Meghan's Instagram? It seems that Meghan enjoyed visiting London so much that she posted a snap of the Victoria Memorial, which stands right outside the Buckingham Palace. A little bit spooky if you ask me!

74.

Image Source/ Meghan Markle InstagramIt's safe to say that Meghan loves the clothes of her dearest friend Misha Nonoo. This Husband Shirt was actually designed by her creative pal and she absolutely loved wearing it about. They say that she even wore this button-down to her first official appearance with Prince Harry.

75.

Image Source/ Meghan Markle InstagramMeghan loves the shots of her carrying a bouquet of flowers, so why wouldn't she get this shot in London? Candidly, Meghan poses for the camera while sporting a camel coat, white sweater and a gorgeous navy purse. Now that is some goals right there!

76.

Image Source/ Meghan Markle InstagramWhile this may seem like a joyful, casual selfie, the story behind the two's friendship is nothing short of interesting. Here, Meghan is picture with Violet von Westenholz, who is the press relations director for Ralph Lauren, also related to the baron who introduced Meghan and Harry.

77.

Image Source/ Meghan Markle InstagramSeems like Meghan was a perfectly normal American girl before she was thrown into the regimented lifestyle of the British Royal household. Here she is, posing by a cooked Thanksgiving turkey way back in 2016. It looks delicious to say the least, she should've kept this pic up!

78.

Image Source/ Meghan Markle InstagramMeghan has friends from all over the world and all sorts of careers and backgrounds. Take this photo for example. Meghan bikes around a farmhouse just outside of London with Millie Mackintosh. If you don't know her, she's a star from the hit-show Made in Chelsea.

79.

Image Source/ Meghan Markle InstagramIf we have learned anything about Meghan, it's that she absolutely adores a good ol' mirror selfie, and here is another piece of evidence. This photo was posted to Meghan's Instagram, and the girl she is posing beside is one of her best pals Jessica Mulroney.

80.

Image Source/ Meghan Markle InstagramNow this didn't age well, did it?! Meghan posted a cutsie pic of her feet before the signage reading #NoBadEnergy. Little did she know that her life was going to be catapulted into chaos, negativity and slander when she married the future King's son. Wow.
