Royal Baby: Unusual traditions Meghan and Harry will likely follow

A look at some of the unusual baby traditions Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will likely have to follow.

It's safe to say Baby Sussex will never play "Fortnite."

Prince Harry and wife Meghan Markle racked up for than 3 million Instagram followers in just one day — but that doesn't mean the Duke of Sussex likes the idea of social media as a whole.

The Ginger Prince slammed both social media and the game "Fortnite" just days after he and Markle, 37, made their record-shattering debut on Instagram.

Harry, appearing at a YMCA in South Ealing, London, said (via The Independent) of "Fortnite" in particular, “Where is the benefit in having that game in your household? It’s created to addict — an addiction to keep you in front of a computer for as long as possible. It’s so irresponsible.”

“Parents have got their hands up — they don’t know what to do about it,” he said. “It’s like waiting for the damage to be done.”

The 34-year-old royal added, “Social media is more addictive than drugs and alcohol, yet it’s more dangerous because it’s normalized and there are no restrictions to it."

“Without that human connection, when you do have a problem you have nowhere to go,” he warned. “The only place you might go is online and you will probably end up getting bullied.”

The Sussex Royal account later posted photos from his visit with a reminder of the importance of prioritizing mental health.

"There continues to be huge progress in smashing the stigma that surrounds mental health, but let’s keep normalizing the conversation," Harry wrote. "Let’s keep reminding each other that it’s okay to not be okay, and to listen to each other. After all, how we think determines how we act, how we feel, and how we treat ourselves and those around us.”
