‘It was incredibly brave of them to be so open about their vulnerability’ When HELLO ! launched its #HelloToKindness campaign in January to combat social media abuse, it captured the attention of readers, celebrities and Parliament. Now, a week after an ITV documentary in which the Duke and Duchess of Sussex spoke from the heart about their struggles, Loose Women presenter Andrea McLean explains why it is more important than ever to say #HelloToKindness.
