Prince Harry saw the Jan. 6 attacks coming on Twitter, and he even tried to warn the service's CEO about it the day before the attack.

The Duke revealed the surprising claim in a new summit talk. He said he had been emailing CEO Jack Dorsey and on Jan. 5 "warned him his platform was allowing a coup to be staged."
