Doria Ragland unlikely to give interview about Meghan Markle

Doria Ragland, the mother of Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, is unlikely to give a media interview about her daughter or the family's private affairs, despite renewed interest in her account following allegations against Meghan's estranged father, according to a report by Heat World.

Doria Ragland, the mother of Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, is unlikely to give a media interview about her daughter or the family’s private affairs, despite renewed interest in her account following allegations against Meghan’s estranged father, according to a report by Heat World.

An unnamed source quoted by the publication said Ragland could make a substantial amount of money by sharing her perspective but would not do so.

“People would love to hear her side of the story; she could make a fortune if she wanted to, but she would never do that,” the source was quoted as saying.

The source added that Ragland’s priority was protecting her daughter and grandchildren and helping them through the current situation.

The report also described Ragland as a source of support for Meghan, although its claims about their private conversations could not be independently verified.

Meghan’s father, Thomas Markle, 82, was arrested in Florida on November 6 and charged with one count of possessing child sexual abuse material, according to the US Justice Department.

Federal investigators said they searched two Los Angeles-area storage units rented by Markle and seized about 78 items, including slides, film negatives and books containing suspected child sexual abuse material.

A federal criminal complaint alleges that some images showed an adult man, identified by a witness as Markle, with a nude prepubescent girl. The allegations have not been proven in court. Markle is presumed innocent unless convicted.

The FBI is investigating the case.
