Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are set to arrive in Belgium capital on Tuesday to give an important address to the European Parliament about online child safety.
The announcement was last week where it was revealed that the Duchess of Sussex was going to deliver a speech.
However, there has been 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.

Now, it has been revealed that Meghan has withdrawn from making the address as she does not have the strength to do any public speaking.
“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, which will take place at the opening of the Lost Screen Memorial, an art installation that honours children who have died after being subjected to harm online.
This will be third memorial that has been installed after New York and at Geneva’s Place des Nations.
A spokesperson for Meghan confirmed that while she won’t 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 would be addressing his father-in-law’s arrest at the event.
