Doria Ragland, mother of Meghan Markle, made a surprising appearance at a luncheon held on the perks field outside Kensington Palace in September 2018.
Doria traveled to London to support Meghan's launch of a new cookbook for their community kitchen initiative. Meghan had requested the palace to prepare a VIP room for Doria whenever she visited the UK, but the Queen declined, citing protocol limitations.
Despite Meghan's claims that Kate's family always received such privileges while traveling, it was revealed to be untrue. Speculation arose about Meghan's insistence on special treatment for her mother, leading to suspicions regarding unchecked access and potential security risks.
Coincidentally, during Doria and Meghan's stay at the palace, the first burglary in years occurred. The perpetrator seemed familiar with the layout and security procedures, raising questions about inside knowledge or possible incentives. This situation intensified Harry's determination to protect not just himself and Meghan but also Doria Ragland.
The notion of granting Doria international privileged person status raised concerns beyond security, touching on issues of unchecked behavior and secrecy. Harry's involvement in the matter suggested a deeper understanding or possession of significant leverage, implying his association with Meghan and her mother's actions.
Amidst these controversies, the Duchess of Sussex faced renewed criticism for her feminist stance, with accusations of inconsistency between her proclaimed values and her actions. On their updated website, Harry and Meghan highlighted Meghan's advocacy for women's rights and gender equity, citing her recognition in various influential rankings.
However, Royal expert Angela Lon disputed Meghan's feminist credentials, suggesting that Meghan's marriage into wealth contradicted her claimed advocacy. Lon insinuated that Meghan's fortune was largely built on disparaging remarks about Harry's royal family rather than genuine empowerment efforts, questioning Meghan's authenticity as a feminist figure.
