Prince Harry reveals he 'hates Twitter'

Prince Harry tells schoolchildren he "hates" Twitter because it invades his privacy as he met students being trained as "digital champions" for the forthcoming Invictus Games.
Prince Harry has told children he "hates" Twitter because he regards messages and pictures posted on the social networking site as an invasion of his privacy.
Ironically, the Prince made the comments at a school where children are being trained as "digital champions" for the forthcoming Invictus Games, which Harry has spend the past year organising.
The children were being taught how to use Twitter and Facebook to promote the Games, and one of them asked Prince Harry if he would be Tweeting during the event in September.
He said: "I would love to get involved and go on social media and if it was for causes like this I really would.
"The issue for myself and my family, put quite simply, is that it's very hard for me to tweet about the Invictus Games and tweet about something that means a lot to me, whereas I at the same time really quite hate Twitter by the invasion of privacy.
"I think you all understand what I'm talking about."
He also told the children: "I'm not on social media but I used to be."
The Prince is known to be irritated by the fact that he cannot go out in public without people tweeting pictures of him and his location, something which put particular strain on his relationship
with his ex-girlfriend Cressida Bonas.
His worst indiscretions of recent years, such as the pictures of him partying naked in a Las Vegas hotel room, did not appear first on Twitter, instead being sold to media organisations, though Twitter helped to spread the word about them.
The Prince made the comments at the Bethnal Green Academy in London, where 60 children from six London schools were being taught by staff from Facebook how to use social networking to promote the Invictus Games, which run from September 10 to 14 at the Olympic Park in east London.
