London / Washington (AP) - Prince Harry (36) is concerned about the spread of false information in the digital age.
As the US think tank Aspen Institute announced, the Royal will now take part in a commission to seek ways out of the crisis of confidence in which key institutions such as the democratic system and the media in the USA are located.
"We are buried under an avalanche of misinformation in today's digital world that affects our ability to truly understand the world we live in, both as individuals and as societies," said Harry, according to a statement.

Harry and his wife Meghan (39) had withdrawn from the inner circle of the British royal family last year.
Among other things, they complained of unfair reporting and attacks on their privacy from sections of the tabloid press.
They now live with their one-year-old son Archie in Santa Barbara, California.
The couple are expecting a baby girl in the summer.
The 15-member commission called the Commission on Information Disorder is due to start work in April.
Members include the former world chess champion Garri Kasparow and the daughter-in-law of US media mogul Rupert Murdoch, Kathryn Murdoch.
