Harry made an appearance at the YMCA in South Ealing, London, where he met with representatives from different charities.

He explained, “There’s too much negativity surrounding mental health and it must be so hard for young people to talk about it.
“Social media is more addictive than drugs and alcohol, and it’s more dangerous because it’s normalized and there are no restrictions to it.
“We are in quite a mind-altering time, but quite an exciting time, because everyone in this room has the opportunity to make a real difference,” he added, according to the Metro.
The event was organized by Heads Together, which is a mental health organization headed by Harry, Meghan Markle, Kate Middleton, and Prince William.

Harry then said of the game Fortnite, “A game like Fortnite, for instance, may not be so good for children. Parents have got their hands up; they don’t know what to do about it.
“It’s like waiting for the damage to be done and kids turning up on your doorsteps and families being broken down. Fortnite shouldn’t be allowed. Where is the benefit in having that game in your household?
“It’s created to addict – an addiction to keep you in front of a computer for as long as possible. It’s so irresponsible.”
