Prince Harry and Meghan Markle took a visit to their namesake, Sussex, yesterday and the 33-year-old royal gave an opinion on the current Fortnite craze.
During the visit, the Duke of Sussex met with a group of 8-year-old students who asked if he likes to play the viral video game.
“He asked how old we are. We said that we were 8 and he said, ‘You guys shouldn’t really play Fortnite,’ ” one of the students said.
The students also said that Harry even exclaimed, “What is wrong with parents,” after they said they were allowed to play the online game, according to PEOPLE.
At one point, Harry crouched down to talk to a few students and encouraged them to find other games to play.
Teacher Emma Johnston told the US site, “He was saying that it’s a concern of his, children playing the game before they are allowed to. We were saying that as a school it’s a concern for us too.”
Since its release date on July 25, the free-to-play “Battle Royale” survival game has spread like wildfire across the eGaming industry.
The game reportedly has over 125 million players, Epic Games – Fortnite’s parent company – said in a June statement.
