The Cambridges and the Sussexes share multiple Instagram posts on the same day

The Cambridges and the Sussexes were particularly active on Instagram today, both sharing two posts in quick succession of each other.

This morning Prince Harry, 35, and Meghan Markle, 38, shared a post promoting his visit to Scotland, which aimed to look at how local tourism can protect the environment and support local communities.

Just five hours later Prince William, 37, and Kate Middleton, 38, posted a picture of the Duchess of Cambridge at a sporting event in aid of SportsAid, with both posts racking up around 200,000 likes.

And, amid reports Prince William is concerned Harry’s visit to the UK will overshadow his upcoming tour of Ireland, both brothers shared a post about their respective endevours at the same time this evening. 

Both accounts boast 11.2 million followers, with Sussex Royal slightly in the lead of Kensington Palace’s account.

This evening’s post on Harry’s account shows the Duke of Sussex promoting his talk at the Scottish summit on how to maintain a sustainable tourism industry, racking up 60,000 likes.

Meanwhile, at 30,000 likes, Prince William shared a picture promoting his visit to a homelessness project in Nottinghamshire. 

The two clashing posts came as a source told the Sun: ‘Indeed he [Prince William] is glad that he is returning, however briefly – he wishes that it wasn’t at the same time as his Irish trip because he knows what will happen is that the spotlight as far as papers and TV are concerned will be fully on Harry and Meghan.’ 

‘He recognises that for the media this will be “the big story.”‘

Harry kicked off the day with a post about his summit in Scotland, amid rumours William was concerned he could be overshadowed by his brother's visit

The source went on to say that while the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will not be ‘jealous’ of the coverage, the tour of Ireland is particularly important as it’s the first carried out by any member of The Firm since Brexit. 

The engagements will not be taking place at the same time, but the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s much-anticipated return to the UK is likely to overshadow the final day of William and Kate’s tour.

During his return to the UK, Prince Harry will visit the Abbey Road Studios in London on Friday to record a new song for his Invictus Games with rock star Jon Bon Jovi.

He will then be joined by his wife Meghan – and, possibly, the couple’s son Archie – early next week for five further official appearances.

These include the official opening of the Silverstone UK Experience, Mountbatten Music Festival and an occasion to mark Independent Women’s Day.

Meanwhile, Prince William and Kate Middleton were at the theatre in London last night and will be on a royal tour in Ireland from March 3 to 5.

However, the ‘Fab Four’ – as William, Kate, Harry and Meghan were once known – are expected to join together with other royals at the Commonwealth Service at Westminster Abbey on March 9.
