Prince William's fear for Princess Charlotte and Prince George

It might seem like the Royals don’t have much to worry about, but as it turns out, Prince William shares the same fear most parents do.

The Duke of Cambridge attended the London 2016 Founders Forum, which celebrates digital entrepreneurs, and used the platform to speak out about his concerns regarding cyberbullying and his anti-bullying taskforce.

“As Catherine and I started our family a few years ago, I was alarmed about the increasing reports of online bullying that were making headlines around the world,” he said.

“From the girls developing eating disorders after being subjected to a campaign of abuse on social media, to the teenage boys who took their own lives following constant targeting – as a parent myself, I was appalled.”

William also touched on the fact that he was concerned about the 24/7 nature of cyberbulling.

“To school-age children today, there is no difference between their online and offline lives. Bullying is bullying, wherever it happens,” said William.

However, the Royal also admitted that technology wasn’t necessarily all bad – adding that he would personally struggle without his phone.

“A lot is said publically about the challenges that new technologies – particularly the Internet – can create for people, in terms of the spread of extremism, invasions into our privacy, and the security of our data.

“But while new technology can of course create new problems, it is my belief that innovation in technology is a force for good, and that these advancements can do a lot more good than the harm that is often talked about.”

William finished by acknowledging that his taskforce “had a lot of work to do” to combat child cyberbullying, but that he was hopeful for the future and his own children.
