Meghan, wife of Prince Harry, will no longer speak at Brussels event
Harry urged tech companies to be more transparent as Meghan withdrew from speaking after her father’s arrest, with 50 memorial screens honoring children lost to online harm.
- The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, will not deliver a keynote address in Brussels today, despite traveling with the Duke of Sussex, Prince Harry, for an online child safety event. Markle decided to withdraw from the joint speech, leaving Harry to proceed alone.
- Markle is "not strong enough" to speak publicly, a source claimed, following the arrest of her estranged father, Thomas Markle Snr. She previously expressed being "deeply distressed" by the allegations, which have strained their long-standing estrangement.
- Thomas Snr, 82, appeared in a Florida court on Friday facing federal charges for possessing child abuse material. The Department of Justice alleges he stored explicit images in two Los Angeles-area storage units rented over nearly two decades.
- At the opening of the Lost Screen Memorial, an art installation honouring children who died due to online harm, Harry will deliver the keynote address solo. He will also participate in a panel discussion regarding digital safety.
- Markle previously described the allegations against her father as "troubling and disturbing," hoping for justice and the protection of innocent children. The couple moved to England from California this autumn, focusing their work on digital safety initiatives.
