Royal couple hold Instagram record
Interest in the account is likely high because Meghan is due to give birth in either late April or early May.

Prince Harry and his wife Meghan have become the fastest to gain 1 million followers on Instagram.
The account @SussexRoyal, which opened Tuesday, has now reached 3.4 million fans but hit the world record mark in a shade under six hours, easily beating the old record held by Korean musician Kang Daniel.
The record has been recognised by the Guinness Book of Records, the foremost authority on human record keeping. Interest in the account was likely significantly higher than it usually would have been due to the fact that Meghan is due to give birth in either late April or early May.
