Royal watchers recently got a rare look at Natasha Archer’s private world when her Instagram account was briefly made public.
Archer, who has worked with the royal family for over ten years and was even awarded a dynastic knighthood for her service, quietly opened the door to speculation—especially as news circulates that she may be leaving her royal post.

Signs of a Departure—and a Social Media Shift
Just ten days after reports surfaced about Archer’s plans to step away from royal duties, fans noticed subtle but telling changes to her Instagram account. The 37-year-old aide, often referred to as Kate Middleton’s right-hand woman, had quietly adjusted her following list—and people took notice.
An anonymous source shared with media outlets that Archer’s Instagram still followed key royal accounts, including those of Kate and Prince William, King Charles and Queen Camilla, as well as Princess Eugenie and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, Princess Beatrice’s husband.
Interestingly, she also followed Suits actresses Abigail Spencer and Sarah Rafferty, both known to be friends of Meghan Markle. But Markle’s own Instagram handle was notably missing.

No More Ties With Meghan’s Circle?
The insider added that Archer no longer follows several members of Meghan’s close-knit inner circle: makeup artist Daniel Martin, photographer and fashion influencer Delfina Blaquier, and wellness expert Heather Dorak. These quiet changes sparked headlines speculating that Archer’s unfollows were a subtle dig at Meghan.
However, some outlets suggested it could simply be a respectful gesture in light of the ongoing tension between Prince Harry’s side and the rest of the royal family.
