Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are set to arrive in the Belgian capital on Tuesday to give an important address to the European Parliament about online child safety. The announcement was made last week, revealing that the Duchess of Sussex was going to deliver a speech.

However, there has been a major change to the programme for the Sussexes, especially after Meghan's estranged father, Thomas Markle Sr, was arrested on Friday and charged with possession of child abuse material. 'She's just not strong enough, emotionally, to be doing any public speaking right now,' a source told The Telegraph.

Prince Harry will be giving a solo speech at the opening of the Lost Screen Memorial, an art installation that honours children who have died after being subjected to harm online. This is the third memorial to be installed following New York and Geneva's Place des Nations.

A spokesperson for Meghan confirmed that while she will not be giving a speech, she will be present with her husband. 'The duchess is travelling with the duke to Brussels and will accompany him to the event but will not speak.'

Meanwhile, it is unlikely that Harry will address his father-in-law's arrest at the event. Royal commentators have noted that this is a sensitive situation for the couple, who have consistently advocated for online safety and mental health awareness globally.

The European Parliament event is expected to draw significant media attention from international news outlets. Security measures in Brussels have been heightened ahead of the royal visit to ensure the safety of all attendees and dignitaries.

Prince Harry's address will focus heavily on holding tech giants accountable for the safety of minors on social media platforms. He has previously spoken out about the addictive nature of algorithms and the urgent need for systemic reform.

Local organizers in Brussels have expressed their understanding regarding Meghan's absence from the speaker's roster. They emphasized that her presence alongside Prince Harry still sends a powerful message of solidarity to affected families.

The Lost Screen Memorial has received widespread acclaim for its poignant portrayal of digital dangers. Visitors to the exhibition are invited to reflect on the devastating impact of cyberbullying and online exploitation.

Following their engagements in Brussels, the couple is scheduled to return to their California residence later in the week. Further updates regarding their public schedule will be released by their team in due course.
