Megan Markle’s Troubled Childhood Revealed by Childhood Friend

Ninaki Pretty, a childhood friend of Megan Markle, recently revealed in a new interview some interesting details about Megan's past.

This comes at a time when rumors about Megan and 's divorce are gaining momentum.

According to Pretty, Megan spent most of her time with her mother, Doria, when she was younger.

They would dance around the house and have girly evenings together.

However, things changed when Megan reached junior high, around 13 or 14 years old, as she began living with her father, Thomas Markle.

Thomas Markle, a renowned lighting director, had a demanding career that often kept him away from his daughter for days at a time.

He would work long 18-hour days, leaving Megan to navigate her teenage years without his presence.

Despite this, Megan attended a prestigious Hollywood school, where many celebrities' children also studied.

However, her childhood was not without its challenges.

She was often shuttled between her friends' homes, which made it difficult for her to establish a stable routine.

At times, she even stayed overnight at her boyfriend's house, blaming her father for his lack of care.

Ninaki Pretty also mentioned that Megan had a certain coldness to her if someone ever crossed her.

This could be attributed to her sense of entitlement, possibly stemming from insecurities and envy towards friends who had more stable homes.

Her occasional misbehavior might not only be a result of being spoiled but also due to growing up in an area plagued by crime and street gangs.

Megan hails from one of Los Angeles' roughest suburbs, known for its gang wars.

Doria Ragland, her mother, lived in Crenshaw, a neighborhood surrounded by robberies and drug-induced violence.

This stands in stark contrast to the leafy and affluent Kensington area in London, where Megan now resides with .

Megan's upbringing, with ancestors who were freed from slavery, could be seen as a rags-to-riches story.

Crenshaw is home to various local gangs, including the Crenshaw Mafia Gangster and the Westside Rollin' 60s neighborhood Crips, one of the largest street crime collectives in Los Angeles.

Despite this, some parts of Crenshaw, like Windsor Hills, are showing signs of improvement.

However, the stark difference in crime rates between Crenshaw and Highgrove, Prince Harry's neighborhood, is evident.

In the past week alone, Crenshaw has experienced 47 crimes, while Highgrove has only dealt with 21 incidents in the past year.

Doria Ragland seems to have had a significant influence on Megan's life.

She has faced her own financial struggles, having filed for bankruptcy in 2002 over a substantial credit card bill.

It remains to be seen how Megan's upbringing and the challenges she faced will shape her future with Prince Harry.

The couple's contrasting backgrounds continue to be a topic of fascination and speculation among their followers.
