As I said before - the difference is in the expectation afterwards. He can do what he wants, they can do what they want, we can all have our opinions on those things.

The issue is that Mr Markle then gets weepy about them not wanting him in their lives.

In fact - in a hilarious and yet entirely predictable irony - the same people who think it's "terrible" that Meghan won't talk to her dad get practically furious at the idea that Harry and his family might ever build bridges and insist that he should be "left out in the cold" .

Again on that I'd just say, I have no feelings one way or the other on whether Charles, William and co should be willing to have a relationship with Harry and his family other than to say that that is entirely up to them.
