Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have received a significant setback as royal supporters call on the pair to refrain from delivering additional speeches globally.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex made a joint appearance in Brussels yesterday, attending the unveiling of the Lost Screen Memorial at the European Parliament. Throughout their appearance, Harry delivered a solo address on stage, calling for enhanced protections for children online. Meghan was originally set to join Harry on stage, but chose to step back from giving the speech following her father's recent arrest and charges. Meghan, however, still participated in the event, appearing to support her husband.
While she didn't take the stage on Tuesday, Meghan has recently addressed multiple gatherings, including the launch of the "Lost Screen Memorial" in Switzerland in May.

In a recent poll conducted by the Daily Express, which ran from 7 am on November 10 to 7 pm on November 11, supporters were asked whether they wanted to see both Harry and Meghan deliver more speeches globally.

Speaking of Meghan's decision to take to the stage in Brussels, a source recently informed The Telegraph: "She's just not strong enough, emotionally, to be doing any public speaking right now."

Harry attended the Clinton Global Initiative 2026 Annual Meeting in September, mere weeks following his return to the UK. Beyond his presence at the gathering, Harry also delivered remarks from the stage addressing AI-related risks.
The 42-year-old was present at the WellChild awards in London during September, where he delivered a heartfelt address to attendees.
The pair are believed to be residing in the Cotswolds following their surprising August homecoming to the UK. They returned with their children, as Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet are now enrolled in British schools.
Harry and Meghan's Brussels journey was brief, as the couple has previously mentioned their reluctance to be away from their children for more than 10 days.
