The Duchess of Sussex has withdrawn from delivering a speech on online child safety in Brussels, saying she is "not strong enough" to do so following her father's arrest.
Meghan was scheduled to appear alongside her husband at the opening of the Lost Screen Memorial at the European Parliament on Tuesday morning. However, she has decided to leave the speaking duties to her husband in light of recent events concerning her estranged father.
Event Details and Decision
The speech was planned as part of the memorial's opening ceremony, with both the Duke and Duchess expected to participate. The decision to step back was made following the arrest of her father, which has affected her ability to appear publicly.
Impact on the Memorial Opening
While the Duchess will not speak, the event is expected to proceed as scheduled, with Prince Harry taking on the speaking role. Further details about the event's program have not yet been released.
