In a shocking revelation, Meghan Markle’s mother, Doria Ragland, has been accused of having a criminal past.
The Duchess of Sussex, known for her troubled childhood due to her parents’ separation, now faces allegations that her mother spent years in prison.
While these accusations cannot be completely dismissed, it is worth noting that someone with the same name as Ragland was indeed convicted and incarcerated for a significant period of time.
Renowned royal author Tom Bauer, in his upcoming book, officially mentions that Ragland not only had a history of heavy drug use but was also involved in drug dealing.
Bauer, however, is unable to provide further details due to legal constraints.
Nevertheless, it becomes evident that drugs have played a significant role within the Sussex family dynamics.
Unlike the Markle side of the family, who have been relentlessly pursued, misquoted, and smeared by the media and even strangers online, the Sussexes have faced their own share of challenges.
It is understandable that they may be hesitant to trust anyone enough to reveal the truth about Ragland, especially considering her daughter’s proclivity for legal action against those who cross her.
Bauer’s book is set to shed light on Ragland’s absence from Meghan’s life between the ages of 5 and 18.
However, the full truth is yet to be revealed, leaving royal fans with three prevailing theories.
The first theory suggests that Ragland may have been convicted in a different state or even at the federal level, making the records non-public according to the laws of that jurisdiction.
Unearthing this information would require extensive research through old, non-digitized records.
The second theory posits that Ragland may have had her criminal record expunged, leaving only local newspaper accounts as potential sources of information.
Given the multitude of newspapers in the United States during the 1980s, this task would be time-consuming and challenging.
The third theory suggests that court records may have been destroyed due to natural disasters such as hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, or floods that have occurred over the past three decades.
If this were the case, it would align with the second theory, where only local newspaper accounts would remain.
Just like Meghan’s medical files and other sensitive documents, Ragland’s records also seem to be sealed, indicating a deliberate effort to bury potentially damaging information.
Furthermore, it has come to light that Ragland is not licensed to practice social work independently, raising suspicions about her geriatric care service and home company.
Without an independent license, she cannot legally operate as a social worker in California or anywhere else without supervision.
This revelation adds another layer of intrigue to the overall narrative surrounding Ragland.
Adding to the controversy, one observant royal fan pointed out that Ragland had attempted to blame tax fraud on Meghan’s father, Thomas Markle.
However, Markle was able to provide evidence of his innocence, leading the jury to dismiss Ragland’s allegations against him.
The fan further speculated that Ragland’s decision to implicate Markle backfired, resulting in additional legal trouble for herself and ultimately leading to her four-year prison sentence.
While the allegations of drug dealing remain unverified, it is not entirely surprising given the backdrop of Los Angeles, where Ragland resided.
It is possible that her sentence for drug-related charges was reduced, leading to her serving a shorter period of time.
However, the exact circumstances of her release, such as potential early release for good behavior, remain unknown.
It is worth noting that Ragland had demonstrated her commitment to rehabilitation by obtaining a Bachelor of Science degree and maintaining exemplary behavior, which could have contributed to the expungement of her criminal record.
As the public eagerly awaits the release of Tom Bauer’s book, the truth about Doria Ragland’s past and her impact on Meghan Markle’s upbringing remains shrouded in mystery.
