The Prince of Wales specifically raised concerns about the social media platforms Instagram, Twitter and Facebook and their damaging affect on children's mental health because the sites are all about comparing oneself to others they see on social media.
Prince Charles does not have a personal social media profile
These comments make it unlikely that the Prince will approve of his grandchildren using their own personal social media accounts when they are older, even if it's in a private capacity.
