Lady Colin Campbell has shared her insights regarding Doria Raglan, Meghan Markle's mother, in her updated book.
In the revised edition, Lady C delves into the mysterious absences of Doria, shedding light on aspects of her past that were previously unknown. According to Lady Colin Campbell's revelations, Doria was purportedly involved in substance abuse, openly smoking marijuana and crack cocaine in the presence of family members and neighbors.
Moreover, Lady C's book includes an intriguing excerpt detailing allegations of Doria's incarceration. A record exists of a Doria Ragland sentenced for fraud in Riverside County Court, California, with a corresponding case ID. Despite this, Lady Colin Campbell does not definitively assert that these records pertain to Meghan's mother.
Over the years, Thomas Markle Sr., Meghan's father, has maintained discretion regarding his ex-wife's privacy, steadfastly refusing to discuss Doria's absences even with his other children. Speculations have circulated about Doria's prolonged disappearances, with some suggesting the possibility of a prison sentence.
Additionally, there has been a discovery of a registered address under the name "Dor Ragland," containing intriguing contents. However, conclusive evidence linking this individual to Meghan's mother remains elusive.
On online forums like Kora Royal, fans speculate about whether Doria's alleged prison time influenced Meghan's relationship dynamics, possibly explaining why Meghan spent more time with her father during her upbringing. Despite years of conjecture about Doria's whereabouts and the duration of her potential incarceration, the full extent of the mystery remains unresolved.
Doria seemingly shares certain traits with her daughter Meghan, including aspirations to marry into wealth and socialize within elite circles. She reportedly attempted to cultivate relationships with affluent individuals, even cozying up to celebrities like Ed O'Neal from "Married With Children."
Their paths converged when Doria worked as a makeup artist on the set of the show, where she met Thomas Markle. Their relationship blossomed, leading to marriage and the birth of Meghan. However, their marital bliss was short-lived, as financial difficulties and legal troubles ensued, ultimately resulting in divorce and custody battles.
Following their separation, Doria secured sole custody of Meghan, leveraging Thomas's challenges to her advantage. Thomas's persistent attempts to see his daughter were met with resistance, culminating in legal confrontations. Doria's scheme to avoid taxes, intending to implicate Thomas, backfired, leading to her imprisonment.
Despite these tumultuous events, Thomas eventually gained custody of Meghan after Doria served a reduced sentence due to legal interventions. However, records pertaining to Doria's past were sealed or expunged, leaving only traces of her troubled history. Thomas alludes to Doria's decade-long absence from Meghan's life, hinting at undisclosed details constrained by legal obligations.
