“My two little ones are still of the age of innocence.

“Sometimes I feel I can keep them away from the online harms that they could face in the future forever, but I am learning to know better.

“As parents, my wife and I are concerned about the next generation growing up in a world where they are treated as digital experiments.”

Harry added: “Wherever you are, wherever you’re listening from, I predict that your family, like mine, understands that the way we experienced technologies like social media isn’t working and needs to be fixed.

“The online world is changing, and it’s on every single one of us to make sure that the change ahead prioritises our children’s right to a safe and happy future.”
