Prince Harry revealed one of the great concerns he has about his children: the impact that the most toxic part of the culture of social networks will have on them, which implies an overexposure of the little ones and the creation of content, which they are not entirely positive, they have been designed for them.
The Duke of Sussex made the revelations during a videoconference linked to the launch of an online tool aimed at parents who need to be aware of their children’s use of the many resources found on the Internet.
The grandson of Queen Elizabeth II gave a brief speech in which he asked the Internet giants to be responsible and careful when attracting the smallest of the household to enter this universe.
“A lot of these systems are designed to keep kids hooked for years, no matter how their time online affects their safety or self-confidence,” he said. “My children are still at an age of innocence and I feel I can protect them, but we are learning that it is not that easy. Nobody wants their children to be subjected to abuse or suffering, or simply treated as digital experiments with which they make money,” he said.
Princess Diana’s son has two children, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, 3, and Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, 11 months, from his marriage to American actress Meghan Markle.
Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee celebrations
In recent days there has been speculation whether or not Prince Harry will attend the Platinum Jubilee celebrations of Queen Elizabeth II in England with his family. Initially, he had ruled out his appearance because the Duke of Sussex would participate in a Polo tournament that would prevent him from traveling.
Days later, a friend of Meghan Markle confirmed his attendance, although he did not specify which day they will share with the monarch. Many thought that the Sussexes would appear on the balcony of Buckingham Palace during Trooping the Colour, however, the idea was scrapped after it was assured that the couple could be booed by the British people.
That is why, until now, it is not known how the Sussexes will participate during the queen’s celebrations, but once their presence is confirmed, both the media and the public from different parts of the world will remain attentive to what happens during his first public appearance with the British royal family after they decided in 2020 to give up being part of it.
