Harry and Meghan to discuss online harms at EU parliament event

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are set to address the issue of online child abuse at an event hosted by the European Parliament in Brussels. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will be the first public appearance of the couple since reports emerged that Meghan's father possessed child abuse images. The event, which opens with a video installation called The Lost Screen Memorial, aims to raise awareness about the dangers children face on social media.

The installation features images of children affected by online abuse and exploitation, displayed on the lock screens of their parents. The royals will open the memorial and deliver a joint speech before participating in a panel discussion with international activists. This marks Meghan's first public appearance since her estranged father's devices were found to contain child sexual abuse material, and it is the couple's first joint appearance at a public event abroad since returning to Britain this summer.
