It's been quite the deal ..IG had to cap how many follow requests per hour were allowed so it wouldn't crash the whole server! So for some folks it took several tries before the follow button would work ..I was one of them!

So you are telling me the record breaking 1 million follower was delayed?
Looks like Kensington Palace account gained 200k followers since the announcement of the split. (I know a couple myself, people who followed before but unfollowed because they kept getting harassed Meghan and Harry fans for daring to be critical of Meghan).

I want to say i’m shocked about them having their own account, but at the same time i’m not. Like I’m not surprised that one of their pictures is that of them with their backs to the photo (do they not get it that this kind of picture is so very disrespectful?).
IMO a separate account is a foolish idea and move on their and the family part (as it is for the duke of york), they should have gone under the Royal Family account like all the other minor royals.
Why are you shocked about Harry and Meghan having their own IG page? Why do you think it's a foolish idea? Well, Harry, Meghan, and Andrews are senior royals.
What in your definition makes someone a senior royal?
I’ll repeat this just this once and move on- to not get the thread off track any more than it already is: In any historical way that really matters, a senior royal is someone in the direct line to the throne. Nor if, or buts. Spares are no longer considered senior once the heir line has been secured. They may be full time working royals (as many of the queen cousins and younger children are), but none of them are considered senior royals.
Andrew stopped being a senior royal the second William was born and Charles line was secured. Harry stopped being a senior royal once George was born and William line was secured.
Sorry but most expert on BRF define senior royals as the Counsellors of State.
I don’t know who these ‘’experts’’ are, but this definition doesn’t make any sense whatsoever. When the Queen dies Beatrice will become Counsellor of State and I think we can all agree she is not by any definition of the word a senior royal. This has been stated many, many times on these forum, yet people still claim that this is true.
I don't care what people think about Harry being a senior royal or not, but facts are facts.
And this topic has been discussed ad nauseam on various threads, is completely off topic and mods are likely to delete it.
How about we just look at it this way and then let it go and get back on topic.
The Duke and Duchess are junior royals as far as the line of succession to the crown is concerned but they are considered senior full time working members of the family "Firm". Separate the work they do from the rank they hold within the family.
While Harry is the son of a future king, he is no longer really a part of the main line, this has been made clear a few weeks ago when it was announced his office will be answering to the same Buckingham office that handles all the other minor royals. If that is not a capital letter neon sign of “look out minor royal” I don’t know what is.
That is literally impossible. The royal family - any royal family- is build and retain its order because of difference in rank. There is a very specific order- hence the curtesing and bowing and so forth.
Junior is another way to say Minor.
Like it or not, Harry may be a full time working royal (as many other minor royals are at the moment) and he may be a consular of state- only due to him currently being the only royal born adult between him and William (and as mentioned once the queen pass away the next adult born royal who can potentially become a consular will be Beatrice - who we can all agree is a minor royal; I actually think it will be either Camilla or Catherine being consort).
While Harry is the son of a future king, he is no longer really a part of the main line, this has been made clear a few weeks ago when it was announced his office will be answering to the same Buckingham office that handles all the other minor royals.
