I don’t think it will fall on them, nor should it, they probably had no idea this was going to happen.

It’s Instagram’s responsibility either way. They could have said “pick another name or we can nicely ask the current owner for that one.”

They is referring to the Prince and Meghan, correct? They have to know by now what happpened. They can give the name back. Or not use it at the very least. Otherwise why shouldn’t it fall on them? Not knowing beforehand isn’t an excuse to go along with it now.
