Harry, Meghan Advocate Caution on Kids' Social Media

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, founders of the Parents' Network and the Lost Screen Memorial, have become vocal advocates for online safety and the harms of social media for young people. On Hasan Minhaj’s podcast, Harry said the couple will be “way more cautious and hesitant” about giving their children access to smartphones and social media, joked that kids should wait until “35” (calling 21 “sensible”), and warned that big tech would lobby against stricter age limits. At home in Montecito the couple work from a shared office and their children, Archie and Lilibet, frequently barge into video calls, cheerfully interrupting meetings. Meghan says she posts only rare, partial images of the children—often covering their faces—out of safety and privacy concerns. Harry has also indicated plans to make longer visits to the U.K. and to bring his family more regularly amid ongoing security discussions.
