"'We thank you for your support, and welcome you to @SussexRoyal'- Harry & Meghan."
It features several photos of the pair at events across the world.
The official Instagram account commented on the post, welcoming the famous couple to the site.
"Ummmm... hello! Welcome. We are so happy you are here," the comment says.
The new account comes as the Prince Harry and Meghan break away from the Kensington Palace household, with the Queen announcing in March that a new household would be created for the pair.
They have lived at Kensington Palace since their engagement, but will soon move to a new cottage on the Windsor Estate, west of London.
Fans of the couple have quickly shared their joy in the thought of the Instagram featuring Meghan's baby, which is expected during the northern hemisphere's spring.
