In a world where we wake up to headlines about war, racism, disease, natural disasters, and environmental destruction on a nearly daily basis, we have a soft spot in our hearts for an Instagram account by the name of @globalpositivenews. True to its name, it shares stories from around the globe that are inspirational and heartwarming enough to restore your faith in humanity – and we’ve long been followers of the account here at Savoir Flair.
However, it’s only in the past few days that its number of followers is growing by the minute and, in an interesting turn of events, a shout-out to its posts has actually faced tremendous backlash. Why? Because Prince Harry and Meghan Markle started February by taking to Instagram to not only follow it, but also recommend it to their followers. However, it only took a day or two before eagle-eyed Instagram users noticed that the collage serving as a royal plug actually includes an ad for the online store of Global Positive News, pointing out that the duo is backing a company – not a charity. It comes as no surprise that the couple is dividing opinions once again, but we are delighted it gave us an excuse to share these acts of kindness with you.
