Why is instagram embed code only showing an instagram icon, not the image?


I was wanting to embed a photo from my instagram account in to my blog. I thought it would be a simple case of copying the embed code from the photo, paste it in to my editor and off I go. This doesn't seem to be the case though. As you can see from the screenshot, I get the photo information but no photo.

Screen shot

If I put just an image tag in to the html the image shoes perfectly but not in the style of an instagram photo.

i.e.

<img src="https://www.instagram.com/p/BFbPlbwIceD" />

Does anyone have any ideas why the embed code isn't working. I've also tried the embed code in a plain html file and it doesn't work either, so it's not my CMS which is causing the issues, which is Umbraco.
