Meghan Markle’s Mom To Get Own Place In UK For This Reason

Meghan Markle’s mom, Doria Ragland, will reportedly get her own house in the United Kingdom.

Latifa Yedroudj, a journalist for Express, spoke to a royal source that said Markle and Ragland talk on the phone every day, and the yoga instructor also wants to be there for Markle in person.

A source also told Vanity Fair that Ragland wants to be there when Markle conceives and when she gives birth to her first child. “They speak on the phone pretty much every day and they are talking about Doria getting a place in the UK so that she can spend part of the year over here. I think that the idea is that Doria will have a pied-a-terre here so that she has her own space. She wants the ability to be here often, especially if grandchildren come along,” the source said.

Ragland was on hand when the Duchess of Sussex launched her cookbook “Together: Our Community Cookbook.” She flew to London to reunite with her daughter and Prince Harry at that time. But her attendance to the event was dubbed as a royal double act.

Amanda Platell, a journalist for Daily Mail, criticized the mom and daughter tandem for giving Ragland her time in the spotlight. The journalist said that Kate Middleton’s mom, Carole Middleton, has been supportive of all of her daughter’s endeavors, but she never once stole the spotlight from the Duchess of Cambridge.

“Whisper it quietly, but for me, Meghan’s mom-and-daughter act felt a little too staged, with a hint of MeToo virtue-signaling and a tad too much showbiz. More Hollywood, you might say, than Holyrood,” she wrote.

Richard Kay, another journalist for Daily Mail, noted that Ragland has been receiving special treatment from the royal family. This is something that Markle’s dad, Thomas Markle Sr., is unable to experience because he’s not in good terms with his daughter.

“The danger for the palace, whose handling of the Markle affair has been little short of disastrous, is that every time Doria is given such special treatment, Thomas Markle is driven further to the margins,” Kay wrote.
