Prince Harry told 'your beard is delicious' in Invictus appearance
Prince Harry gave a warning about the usage of social media to a young boy he posed with at the Invictus Games.
The Duke of Sussex is in Dusseldorf to enjoy this year’s games.
After launching this year's games on September 9, the Invictus founder has been meeting many representatives and athletes from the countries taking part in the games, as well as delighting royal fans with glimpses of the famous Prince.
Today (September 12), he was watching one of the competitions with close friend JJ Chalmers, who suffered life-changing injuries in Iraq, when a boy approached him.
In a moment captured by Telegraph royal correspondent Victoria Ward, the boy stood for a picture with the Prince when it emerged the boy had his own phone.
Harry asked the boy how old he was before saying: “You’re not on social media, are you?”
He has warned against the dangers of social media in the past, calling misinformation a “global humanitarian crisis” and that the internet is "being defined by hate, division and lies".
Harry has not been on social media since 2020 but his wife Meghan Markle is reportedly preparing to rejoin Instagram with claims she could make $1million per post.
The audio of the Invictus video is not clear due to the music playing in the centre but the Duke of Sussex and the boy can be seen speaking before they make a joke with a man nearby.
