What appeared to be, as you say, a rather cold-hearted approach to her father.

You know, he'd pose for some pictures with a paparazzi, showing him getting ready for the wedding.

Yes, he's been popping up in the media ever since, even though Meghan and Harry asked him not to do so.”The expert tells GB News: “But all those things, surely, I thought, maybe you thought, should in the end be forgivable.

But this, this is something entirely different.

And whether these sordid allegations, which, as you say, he vehemently denies, whether they're true or not, I don't think really would matter in Meghan's head, in any daughter's head.

To have your father accused of such things, you would stand back from that relationship, and you would certainly keep your children at a distance.”"And that's what she did over the years.

And that's what she made absolutely clear last year in a letter to him in the Philippines after he had his leg amputated."Now, I thought that letter probably was a slight softening of her position, at least enquiring about his health and wondering how he was."But we now know it was something very different indeed.

It was a letter saying, I'm severing all relations with you.

I will never contact you again and you will never meet your grandchildren.

And I get it now.

Yes.

So I think many of us did take a hard line,” says the expert.
