Meghan Markle will not be delivering her scheduled speech on children’s online safety during her visit to Brussels with Prince Harry. She will be in Brussels on Tuesday, November 10, but it’s now expected that it will be Harry who will give the keynote speech on his own. The news of Markle not giving the speech comes after the arrest of her estranged father, Thomas Markle Sr.
The couple was due to give a speech at the opening of the Lost Screen Memorial at the European Parliament in Belgium. The memorial is an installation which pays tribute to the lives of children and young people who have died as a result of harmful online experiences and serves to highlight the dangers of social media and the need for greater protection of children.
As per a source quoted by The Telegraph, Markle didn’t feel emotionally up to speaking in public after her dad’s arrest. She’s still expected to be with Harry at the event and to attend the memorial.Meanwhile, according to a report in ITV News, the Suits star would be joining Harry at the memorial but would not be speaking. As per the information, Harry is due to be at a panel on creating a safer digital environment for children.Thomas, 82, was arrested in Florida on November 6 as a result of an FBI investigation which involved two storage units. He is charged with one count of possession of child pornography. The DOJ said that investigators seized approximately 78 items, some of which were believed to contain child sexual abuse material.
The complaint is that there are photos of Thomas with underage girls. If found guilty, he could serve up to 20 years in prison. He’s been released following his court appearance and is on home detention and electronic monitoring, according to BBC News.
Meghan had previously said she was upset by the allegations. In a statement (via CBS News), she said she became aware of the claims in 2018 and that her decision to keep her father away from her children was one made to protect them. Thomas has, of course, denied the allegations.
Harry will deal with children’s online safety himself rather than his wife delivering her contribution on that subject.
