Meghan 'not emotionally strong enough' for speech as she pulls out after father's arrest
Harry will deliver the keynote alone after Meghan said she was not emotionally strong enough to speak publicly.
- Meghan Markle canceled her keynote address at the European Parliament in Brussels on Tuesday, though she will still accompany Prince Harry to the Lost Screen Memorial opening and attend the event.
- Thomas Markle Sr, 82, was arrested by the FBI last week in Florida and charged with possession of child abuse images after authorities seized materials from storage units in Los Angeles.
- Inside the storage units, agents seized about 78 items including film negatives and books containing suspected child sex abuse material; if convicted, Markle faces at least 20 years in federal prison according to the United States Department.
- Meghan withdrew from the engagement because she is "not emotionally strong enough" to speak publicly, leaving Prince Harry to deliver the keynote address alone at the memorial.
- The memorial in Brussels features 50 mobile phones displaying images of children lost to online harm, while the Duchess has been estranged from her father since 2018 and previously expressed she was "deeply distressed" by allegations.
