Statements
In 2020 Harry commented that the COVID-19 Pandemic in the US was "better than we are led to believe through certain corners of the media". Piers Morgan tweeted that "Prince Harry, from his Hollywood mansion, accusing the media of exaggerating the scale of this crisis in Britain is contemptible." Karol Sikora asked "What are his qualifications for making these comments — other than deserting his country in its hour of need?" and termed the opinion "outrageous".[1]
Censorship as a "humanitarian issue"
In a January 2021 interview, Prince Harry spoke of his strategy for increased censorship[2]
Stating: "in a way, taking a predominately hands-off approach to problems for so long is itself an exercise in power,...I think it’s a false choice to say you have to pick between free speech or a more compassionate and trustworthy digital world. They are not mutually exclusive."[3]
The Prince also revealed how he plans to "use his clout" do to address the problem, which he referred to as "a humanitarian issue" requiring a "humanitarian response". In a 2020 essay[4], Prince Harry called on business leaders "to rethink their role in funding the advertising system that underlies the misinformation and divisive rhetoric that’s often shared on social platforms."
“This remodeling must include industry leaders from all areas drawing a line in the sand against unacceptable online practices as well as being active participants in the process of establishing new standards for our online world,” he wrote. "We are losing loved ones to conspiracy theories, losing a sense of self because of the barrage of mistruths, and at the largest scale, losing our democracies."
In October 2018, Harry and his wife Meghan Markle founded Archewell Inc., an American public organization that focuses on non-profit activities and creative media ventures.
Other
In [2014]], Harry launched the Invictus Games a military propaganda exercise "in which wounded, injured or sick armed services personnel and their associated veterans take part in nine sports".[5]
