Harry emphasized the need for change, telling the BBC: “We want to make sure that things are changed so that… no more kids are lost to social media.”

As part of their Archewell foundation, the Sussexes also established the Parents’ Network — a support system for families affected by online harm.

William’s Longstanding Campaign

Prince William, too, has placed online safety at the heart of his advocacy. Back in 2017, through the Royal Foundation, he launched the Stop, Speak, Support campaign to help young people confront cyberbullying.

The initiative created a youth-led code of conduct and practical resources, while also pressing platforms such as Snapchat and Facebook to trial stronger protections.

Together, the three senior royals’ overlapping concerns underscore a growing recognition within the monarchy that social media’s power — both positive and destructive — is one of the defining challenges for today’s youth.
