The Queen's grandson-in-law is the latest royal to join Instagram, following in the likes of his relatives who are all on the gram, including his cousins Princess Eugenie, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Mike has made a conscious effort to keep his relationship with his wife's family out of the spotlight and so doesn't follow any members of the royal family, despite having a close bond with them.
