Doria Ragland, the mom of Meghan Markle, has given some very crafty words that are shaking the royal world at its cracks. In a folksy TV interview, Doria described Meghan as “the perfect daughter, wife, mother, and daughter-in-law.”
She’s a “dream fit” for the royal family, but they don’t treat her right, she said of Meghan. The lovey shout-out has kicked up a squall of drama, with some fans cheering and its detractors rolling their eyes.
” Doria, 68, smiled as she spoke about her daughter. “She’s strong, she’s kind, and she has love pouring out of her—that’s what a royal should be,” she said. “But the family doesn’t really appreciate her gifts; they make her feel small. It breaks my heart.”
The decree comes on the heels of some hard times, such as when Camilla uttered a mean comment about Harry’s parentage or when Kate had her big queen moment that made Meghan feel left out in the cold. Doria’s words are a warm hug for Meghan, who is 44 years old and has been the target of vicious leaks about her past and battles over her kids’ place in the family.
DoriaDefends Meghan is trending, with social media set ablaze. Fans coo, “Doria’s right—Meghan’s a star; treat her like one!” But critics are mad, posting, “Perfect? After all the drama?
Sounds like mom bias!” Some are referring to it as “stirring the pot,” in keeping with Meghan’s jealous words about Kate’s elegance and Harry’s attempt at equal respect. “Doria’s just fueling the fire,” read one tweet.
The royal family is abuzz and silent. King Charles, who is unwell, is said to feel “tugged at the heart,” while William and Queen Kate are believed to be “annoyed.”
Insiders say this could make peace more difficult, especially with Harry’s secret book and Camilla’s tiara clash. Buckingham Palace has not said a word.
Is Doria’s love spot-on or a bit too one-sided? The royal family is a hot mess, at least if you believe all the headlines out of England in recent weeks detailing scandals like Thomas Markle’s video leaks and Charlotte’s charity ban.
Fans are looking for hugs, of course, but this “perfect” praise is like a sweet little slap. The whole world is watching to see whether the royals listen or the drama grows.
