Harry and Meghan made the remarks at a mental health awareness festival in New York on Tuesday.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have urged social media companies to reduce the amount of harmful content children can see online to protect their mental health.
The royal couple, who have spoken about their own mental health challenges in the past, took part in a panel discussion alongside US surgeon general Vivek Murthy moderated by NBC host Carson Daly, who has previously spoken of his struggles with anxiety. They spoke after hearing from parents who have lost children to mental health issues linked to social media use.
“As parents, our kids are really young – they’re two-and-a-half and four-and-a-half – but social media is not going away. The school’s website claims it is the “alternative to college that you have been looking for” for people looking to start a career in tech.
