In a stirring address at the Clinton Global Initiative, Prince Harry highlighted the growing 'epidemic' of anxiety, depression, and social isolation among today's youth, attributing much of it to negative online experiences.

Harry criticized social media platforms for their addictive designs, which entrap young users through endless, inappropriate content.

Beyond advocacy, he underscored the responsibility of corporate leaders and shareholders in demanding higher ethical standards. Harry also emphasized The Archewell Foundation's efforts to support affected families and collaborate globally on child safety initiatives.
