Meghan Markle’s Disappearing Mom: The Complex Relationship Revealed
Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has had a complicated relationship with her estranged father, Thomas Markle.
Surprisingly, it seems that she had a closer bond with her father than with her mother, Doria Ragland.
While Meghan invited her mother to the royal wedding, she excluded other family members after her father canceled his attendance due to heart surgery.
Recently, royal biographer Tom Bauer released his book, Revenge, which raised eyebrows for its lack of mention of Markle's mother.
Doria, known as a yoga teacher, was not given any attention in the book.
There were no references to her alleged prison time or her activities during the years when Thomas took care of Meghan.
It appears that Doria may have prioritized her personal affairs over being a mother to her daughter.
Royal commentator Neil Sean weighed in on the mysterious absence of Meghan's mother.
He noted, “What I do find fascinating is as things emerge about Doria, there are so many inconsistencies.”
According to a reliable source, it was extremely challenging to find concrete information about her.
Although there is plenty of online information about Doria being a trained yoga teacher and boutique owner, Sean questioned the veracity of these claims.
He quoted a trustworthy source who suggested that deliberate efforts have been made to obscure Doria's background.
This raises the question of whether Meghan had a closer relationship with her father during her early years, as opposed to her mother.
Meghan Markle has had no contact with her father for several years.
However, in a previous interview before her royal wedding in 2018, she spoke fondly of her father, Thomas Markle.
She praised his hard work and dedication to her future, saying, “The blood, sweat, and tears this man, who came from so little in a small town of Pennsylvania where Christmas stockings were filled with oranges and dinners were potatoes and spam, invested in my future so that I could grow up to have so much.
It's safe to say I've always been a daddy's girl.”
Meghan shared heartwarming memories of her father teaching her fishing, introducing her to Busby Berkeley films, and enjoying meals together in Little Tokyo.
Meghan also recalled a special Christmas when Thomas customized a family set of Barbie dolls for her.
The set included a black mom doll, a white dad doll, and children of different races.
This gesture showcased her father's efforts to make her happy and create a diverse representation of their family.
On his own account, Thomas Markle admitted that there were reasons for Meghan's upset with him.
One of them was her belief that he was giving too much attention to her step-siblings, which she wanted him to stop.
Thomas expressed his desire for reconciliation, stating, “We're at a point where I think both of us, we should grow up, talk, make up for the sake of the children now, and for ourselves.
This is ridiculous.
It's been going on for almost four years.
It's crazy.”
The complexities of Meghan Markle's relationship with her parents have come to light, revealing a closer bond with her father than her mother.
As the Duchess of Sussex navigates her new life, it remains to be seen whether she will find a way to mend these broken familial ties.
