It's "there" because they couldn't get away with not reporting on it at all, but there is a clear effort on their part to keep the reporting on him to a minimum. Someone has their grubby fingers all over it (and not just Andrew). Whereas Meghan is clearly considered "press fair game". Partly because she's female, I'm sure, but in this case I think the clear major difference is that she's "not actually Royal Blood". Same two reasons she has to soak up most criticism of Harry, as well as her own.

But it's the public's fault for not demanding more, we should be outraged but we aren't, because Rupert Murdoch's telling us to hate Meghan more and the people are complying because they love being told what to think.
If the public demanded it, the media would listen, but the public would rather hate a black princess than be mad about a peadophile in plain view.
