They included the caption: “Happy 1st of March everyone!
“This month, we continue on the good news path and are pleased to be following @TanksGoodNews, as a reminder of all the good that is happening in the world.
“We hope it uplifts and inspires you!”

The SussexRoyal account shared a montage of clips from the ‘inspirational’ account
The TanksGoodNews page, which has 1.3million followers, and is run by US-based George Resch, aka Tank Sinatra, quickly noticed they have been honoured on the royal account.
He commented: “This is amazing! What a great thing to wake up to. I am honored. Let’s have a great month everybody.”
Recently, the couple has slimmed down the accounts they follow on Instagram to just one each month, with the last few all featuring positive news stories.
The Sussexes wrote on Instagram at the start of the year: “Happy New Year! For 2020 we will be continuing our tradition of highlighting accounts that inspire, and that remind us of all the good that is happening in the world.
“However, this time we will be focusing on just one account each month.”
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are currently following one account each month which ‘spreads joy’
In February, they followed Global Positive News and in January they chose the Good News Movement.
Michelle Figueroa, the journalist behind the Good News Movement, previously told People magazine she was given “no heads up” before being featured on the SussexRoyal account.
At the time, she wrote: “Extremely honored and humbled to learn that @SussexRoyal chose me for their monthly feature and that I am the only account they currently follow.”
Meghan and Harry’s March Instagram post comes ahead of the couple stepping down as senior royals officially on March 31.
The Sussex couple announced they would be quitting royal duties in January, and now have a handful of royal engagements left in the UK this month.

The SussexRoyal broke records when it was launched on April 2 last year.
It became the fastest account to reach one million followers in less than six hours, Guinness World Records confirmed.
This was later beaten by Jennifer Aniston who reached a million followers in five hours 45 minutes, when she joined the site in October.
Now the SussexRoyal account has 11.2million followers, which is neck and neck with Kate Middleton and Prince William’s KensingtonRoyal account, which also has 11.2million followers.

The former actress is said to be keen to get back to work after breaking away from the Royal Family earlier this year.
