“However, this time we will be focusing on just one account each month. For January, we would like to shine a spotlight on @goodnews_movement.
“This journalist run-page covers and celebrates acts of kindness and good news in our global community. We hope it brings you joy!” the royals added.
According to the Good News Movement’s Instagram account, it currently has 204,000 followers, who tune in to watch videos and read stories about kind-hearted individuals.
