Instagram was forced to issue a statement after a blunder as Meghan Markle fans complained.
The Duchess of Sussex, 43, suffered a setback after Instagram mistakenly restricted searches for the hashtag #WithLoveMeghan, the title of her new lifestyle series.
The social media platform, owned by Meta, rushed to correct the error after backlash from supporters of the Duchess of Sussex, who noticed that searches for the term had been blocked due to “sensitive content.”
After reports surfaced that Meghan’s critics had flooded Instagram with inappropriate content under the hashtag, Meta responded swiftly, issuing a statement clarifying the situation.

The company said: “We blocked people’s ability to search for terms related to potential child safety risks.
“In this case, the search term #WithLoveMeghan was restricted in error and has now been corrected.”
The Duchess of Sussex has been generating excitement for her latest venture, With Love, Meghan, an eight-part lifestyle series set to debut on January 15.
She recently took to her newly created Instagram account, @meghan, which has already amassed 1.4 million followers, to share an exclusive snippet of the show.

In the teaser, Meghan gave fans a rare glimpse into her California lifestyle, showcasing her love for food, gardening, and quality time with loved ones.
The duchess said: “We’re not in the pursuit of perfection, we’re in the pursuit of joy.”
The show, in keeping with the brand she launched last year, American Riviera Orchard, will explore the duchess’s passions for cooking, wellness, and connection.
The teaser video features Meghan cooking in a mansion in Montecito, likely near where she resides with Prince Harry and their two children, Prince Archie, five, and Princess Lilibet, three.
The duchess immersed herself in different activities, from cooking and beekeeping to spending time outdoors.
Meghan added: “I’ve always loved taking something pretty ordinary and elevating it, surprising people with moments that let them know I was really thinking of them.
“This is about connecting with friends, making new friends, and just learning.”
She concluded with a short statement: “Love is in the details.”
