Prince Harry speaks out against Fortnite; says it should be banned

The Duke of Sussex visited a YMCA in West London recently where he made the statement. He also said the game is more addictive than alcohol and drugs.

He says: “The game shouldn’t be allowed. It’s created to addict.

“An addiction to keep you in front of a computer for as long as possible. It’s so irresponsible.”

Prince Harry urges parents to take action and have their children interact more with the outside world, while also acknowledging that many parents don’t know how to solve the dilemma.

“Parents have got their hands up – they don’t know what to do about it,” he says. “It’s like waiting for the damage to be done.”

The Duke also emphasised the dangers of reliance on social media to form connections.

“It’s more dangerous because it’s normalized and there are no restrictions to it,” Prince Harry stresses, referring to social media. “We are in a mind-altering time.”

He continues: “Without that human connection when you do have a problem you have nowhere to go.

. “The only place you might go is online and you will probably end up getting bullied.”
