According to an article released today by The Guardian, UK Royal Prince Harry declined to take a selfie with a fan in Australia last week. The source reports that Harry responded: “No, I hate selfies … I know you’re young, but selfies are bad. Just take a normal photograph.”
So, what does this mean for our selfie obsessed culture? Maybe having a popular figure express disapproval of selfies will discourage the larger general public to stop taking them, as well. Prince Harry does have a large following, specifically a large crowd of teen and young women because they praise his looks and bachelor-status. Perhaps having their idol put the selfie down will encourage his fans to “take a normal photograph”.
