Prince Harry waded into a debate on online safety as he launched an attack on X owner Elon Musk during a recent trip to Colombia.
The Sussexes are on their second day of a four-day trip to Colombia, where they spoke at a summit on digital responsibility.
However, following his intervention, the Duke of Sussex was criticised for airing “dangerous” and “damaging” opinions.
Seeming to hint at the UK riots in recent weeks, Harry told the crowd: “What happens online within a matter of minutes transfers to the streets.
“People are acting on information that isn't true.”

Harry added: “It comes down to all of us to be able to spot the true from the fake. In an ideal world, those with positions of influence would take more responsibility.
“We are no longer debating facts. For as long as people are allowed to spread lies, abuse, harass, then social cohesion as we know it has completely broken down.”
Reacting to the remarks, royal commentator Helena Chard told GB News that the royal's comments are potentially “dangerous” and “hugely damaging” to the Royal Family.
Chard explained: “Prince Harry catastrophises everything, we see it all the time. Everything's awful, terrible, and he thinks everyone's out to get him.
“He thinks he's the person that should be waving the flag, leading everyone onto better things - this is not the case at all. And actually, I just feel that his opinion a lot of the time is quite dangerous.”
In the exclusive poll for GB News membership readers, an overwhelming majority (94 per cent) of the 1,733 voters thought Prince Harry should stop airing his 'dangerous opinions', while just five per cent thought he shouldn't. One per cent said they did not know.
