The Duke of Sussex, Prince Harry, is not a fan of Fortnite, the hugely popular online multiplayer battle royale game that boasts over 200 million active users worldwide. 

According to a BBC report, Prince Harry felt that the game should be banned because it could lead to serious addiction. 

"That game shouldn't be allowed. Where's the benefit of having it 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," he said at event in London. 

He also thinks the game could cause families to break up.
