Meghan Markle was supposed to give a speech at the European Parliament: she withdrew due to her father's scandal

Meghan Markle made her first public appearance since her father, Thomas Markle, was accused of possessing child sexual abuse images. She attended an event in Brussels with Prince Harry, where he emphasized the importance of children's online safety. Thomas Markle was arrested for allegedly renting storage units containing disturbing materials, including images of child abuse. He has denied the charges and is currently under electronic monitoring and house arrest. Meghan expressed her distress over the situation and revealed she had known about troubling allegations against her father since 2018, leading her to cut ties with him.
