What happened
The outlets' own sentences, most widely reported first. Hover or tap one to see who reported it.
Meghan has arrived at the European Parliament in Brussels with her husband, Prince Harry, where she is attending an online child safety event.
The US Justice Department said Markle allegedly “kept child sexual abuse material (CSAM), including sexually explicit photographs of himself with prepubescent girls, in two Los Angeles-area storage units he rented for nearly two decades”.
The duchess has said she was “deeply distressed” at the allegations about her father, from whom she has been estranged since the run-up to her 2018 wedding.
“She’s just not strong enough, emotionally, to be doing any public speaking right now,” a source told The Telegraph.
