I find this a fascinating view. The whole monarchy has an arrangement with the press, and fills the front pages of some national papers, daily. This is well known, and has been the case for decades. Why is that acceptable, but Meghan and Harry speaking to other media outlets not?

Because they are not sticking to the agreement - the whole shite is an establishment stitch up - why do you think Oakeshott faced with a public interest dilemma went to the paper she did? Thats why we ( and now a few others ) have to take shit - alternative ownership models don't fit the narrative. I read today that Jim Ratcliff promises " no more debt" on the rags whereas Qatar promises to clear the debt. Guess which model of ownership the article thought was the best?
because they specifically left the active royal family because they didnt like the press intrusion into their lives, which is fair enough, sections of the press treated them appallingly.I find this a fascinating view.

but they then immediately invited the press into their lives again and again and again
But they haven't invited the press have they? They have invited selected media partners which has irritated the press, because it calls a question over the monarchy's historic press relationships.because they specifically left the active royal family because they didnt like the press intrusion into their lives, which is fair enough, sections of the press treated them appallingly.

But thats not how the press, and media in general, works
You cant pick and choose who you talk to.
If you choose to talk to one outlet then the rest will want to speak to you and therefore you will suffer press intrusion.
You have to be monumentally stupid not to realise thats how it works.
The only way to step back and have a private life, which is what they say they want, is to stop talking to all media and just be private citizens.
I have lots of sympathy for them both regarding their treatment when they were active members of the royal family, the media were disgusting. I completely understood when they stepped down from that active role. I also understood doing an interview to put their version of events in the public domain. But beyond that I just dont understand how they expect not to be harassed by the media when they keep engaging with it.

Such a silly simplistic view.
They are high profile individuals. Too high profile for a 9-5 job. Fair enough, she could go back to acting but, no, she can't cos she married royalty.
He can't do a 9-5, can he? Nor rejoin the army cos he'd be a target in whatever regiment he'd be in.
His only choice is to open the pandora's box he held, inviting certain vipers into his space under HIS control.
Can't blame him caught between a rock and a hard place hating the press and dealing with the media, loving some of his family and hating the monarchy.
Not a place I'd rather be, but some think it's great to feel isolated and crying into his millions.
It's so dumb as a thought process.

I missed the part where the royal family used every outlet of the media to call Haz and Megz cunts at every opportunity?
Kerching indeed.
Of course you did.I missed the part where the royal family used every outlet of the media to call Haz and Megz cunts at every opportunity?

When was the last time that you saw Meghan speak to the press?But thats not how the press, and media in general, works

When was the last time that multiple articles about Meghan appeared in the Daily Mail?
She is click-bait for their readers - mixed-race, non-Brit, marries 'outside her class', too much to say...
Profit dictates all, and people like Henry Deedes, Sarah Vine, et al. will write the most repulsive articles simply to generate clicks. It is certainly doubtful that they actually feel the venom that reaches their pen.
