Harry and Meghan to discuss online harms at EU parliament event

Prince Harry and his wife Meghan will speak in Brussels about the dangers children face on social media, in their first public appearance since allegations emerged that her father had possessed child abuse images.

The couple, also known as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, will attend the Tuesday opening of a video installation commemorating children who have lost their lives due to harm experienced via social media, a spokesperson told AFP.

The royals will open The Lost Screen Memorial at the European Parliament displaying images of children affected by online abuse and exploitation and give a joint speech before taking part in a panel event with international activists.

The event will be Meghan's first public appearance since revelations that police in the Philippines have found child sexual abuse material on devices at the former home of her estranged father, Thomas Markle.
