Prince Harry’s secretive Instagram account revealed in new book

Prince Harry used a secret Instagram account in the beginning of his relationship with Meghan Markle.

Harry, 35, used the handle SpikeyMau5 in honor of Canadian DJ Deadmau5 and a nickname given to him by his Met Police bodyguards, the Daily Mail reported on Monday, citing the information from Harry and Markle’s soon-to-be-released biography, “Finding Freedom: Harry and Meghan and the Making of a Modern Royal Family.”

According to the biography, Markle, 38, and Harry followed each other on the social media platform after their first date, but they both stopped using their accounts when their relationship was made public. Markle was only one of two people following the account at the time it was deleted.

The book also reported that Harry used a secret Facebook page with the alias Spike Wells. Wells — which used the King Julien from the movie “Madagascar” as the account’s profile image — claimed to hail from Maun, Botswana, one of Harry’s favorite places.

Markle also frequently posted from varying events in London, leading her fans to speculate their relationship had begun long before they went public.

Their private messages most likely won’t be part of the upcoming book, as both Markle and Harry were not involved with the reporting process.

A representative for the couple told Page Six, “The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were not interviewed and did not contribute to ‘Finding Freedom.’ This book is based on the authors’ own experiences as members of the royal press corps and their own independent reporting.”
