Prince Harry Runs Into Trouble During Major New York Speech

He warned that AI is already harming children online before a technical issue stopped his remarks at about seven minutes, organizers said.

  • Prince Harry addressed the Clinton Global Initiative at CGI2026 in New York on Wednesday, where a teleprompter failure forced him to pause his speech for roughly 40 minutes.
  • The Duke appeared at the two-day annual meeting hosted by Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, and Chelsea Clinton to discuss technology's impact on children, connecting to his Archewell Foundation's Parents Network.
  • Warning that artificial intelligence is "learning how to enter our relationships," Harry argued it is more persuasive and intimate than social media, which previously sought only to capture attention.
  • Returning to the stage after roughly 40 minutes, Harry urged the world not to wait before protecting children from online harm, emphasizing he was speaking "as a father."
  • Describing the threat as "the same playbook that built the last crisis," Harry noted current litigation and settlements fail to address dangerous technology design flaws affecting a generation of children.
