Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have stopped people seeing tagged photos of them on their Sussex Royal Instagram account.
The royal couple, who are currently on a six-week break from royal duties, recently disabled the facility which allowed fans to tag them in photographs they snapped of them.
No photos now appear in the ‘Tagged’ section of their page, which boasts 9.9million followers.
The function remains on the Kensington Royal Instagram page, with the latest being an image of pop star Rita Ora, who thanked the charity Centrepoint for having her at a recent event and said it was an ‘honour’ to meet Prince William and ‘talk all things mental health’.

It could be a move to prevent the Sussexes’ Christmas card photograph from leaking online, after a recipient of the Cambridges’ card shared an image of it on Twitter yesterday.
Prince William, Kate Middleton and their family have still not officially shared the family portrait, but the image of them posing beside a vintage motorcycle has been widely shared.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are yet to unveil their Christmas photograph, so restricting tagged images of them from appearing on Instagram could be an attempt to stop people from seeing it before they publicly release it.
It may also be an attempt to maintain privacy on their six-week break from royal duties, during which it is believed they have travelled to America to spend time with Meghan’s mother Doria Ragland.
Femail has reached out to the Duke and Duchess’ representatives for comment.

A royal commentator claimed the family spent Thanksgiving ‘celebrating with close family’ on a ‘long-time trip to the US’.
If the Sussexes joined Doria at her LA home for the holidays, it would mark the first time Meghan has taken her son Archie back to her hometown.
Despite being on a ‘break’ from their work, earlier this month DailyMailTV revealed Meghan is using her break from royal duties to work with a boss at her former Hollywood publicist on a strategy to raise ‘tens of millions of dollars’ for the foundation she and her husband are setting up.
The Duchess of Sussex is said to be in ‘full work mode’ behind the scenes during her and Harry’s extended vacation.
She has reportedly been working with PR advisor, fellow American and close friend Keleigh Thomas Morgan on building a U.S. strategy for the charity venture, which has the full name Sussex Royal, The Foundation of the D&D of Sussex.
Sources in Los Angeles say that Thomas Morgan has been secretly assisting Meghan on the charity launch and fundraising drive and helping her plot a strategy for the next 18 months.

There remains a question mark hanging over where the couple and Archie will spend Christmas, after it was confirmed they will not be at Sandringham with the Queen.
Despite Her Majesty giving her grandson her full support, royals sources said the monarch was initially in the dark about Harry’s festive plans until he called her at Buckingham Palace last month to decline her open invite.
The announcement came after Harry, 35, and Meghan, 38, opened up about struggling with royal life and public scrutiny in the explosive ITV programme Meghan and Harry: An African Journey, in which the Duchess claimed that not many people have asked if she’s ‘okay’.
Harry also claimed he and his brother Prince William are on ‘different paths’ –
