Meghan Markle’s mother, Doria Ragland, may accompany her daughter to the UK for King Charles’s coronation, as reported by Daily Express UK.
It is speculated that Doria will join Meghan and Prince Harry to help take care of her grandchildren.
The royal couple has received an invitation to the coronation, which will take place on May 6.
However, if they attend, they may require a babysitter for their young children who may find it challenging to sit through the service at Westminster Abbey.
In a surprising move, Meghan requested the palace to organize an intimate birthday party for their son Archie and invited Doria to join the celebration.
Additionally, Meghan asked King Charles to grant Doria a royal title of countess or lady at the coronation.
She believes that since Archie and Lilibet have their titles of prince and princess, their grandmother should also be recognized for her care and support.
However, these requests were met with flat rejection.
The coronation is not considered a family event, and there is no obligation to include Doria or anyone else.
Moreover, the royal family has made it clear that no one will be invited to Archie’s birthday party except for his parents, who have the freedom to invite whomever they choose.
While Doria may be present in the UK during the coronation, she will not have access to any of the royal family or the festivities surrounding the event.
Her role will primarily be that of a babysitter, possibly at Frogmore.
Despite the fact that peerages are typically reserved for British citizens, the Duchess is reportedly determined to secure a title for her mother.
This determination has been further fueled by the knowledge that Kate Middleton’s parents, Michael and Carol Middleton, may one day become an earl and countess.
Although official peerage titles cannot be bought or transferred and can only be granted by the king, there is a possibility for Meghan to purchase a title for her mother.
According to sources, Doria could obtain a title through auctions held by the Memorial Society in the UK, with prices ranging around $10,000.
She could potentially become a lady of a small English village or acquire countess and lady titles from various principalities around the world for as little as $100.
Leaked information suggests that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who relocated to the US in 2020, are prohibited from participating in the royal procession.
An insider shared with Star Magazine that while Charles desires their presence at the coronation, they cannot expect to be treated as senior royals after stepping down from their roles three years ago.
Their decision has been made, and they must accept the consequences.
It is not only the Duke and Duchess of Sussex who have been excluded from the coronation.
Prince Andrew, Charles’s brother, who has faced allegations related to a civil assault case and had associations with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, has also been left out.
The insider remarks that being left out alongside Prince Andrew, who brought disgrace to the royal family, is a humiliating experience.
The exclusion of Beatrice and Eugenie, Andrew’s daughters, further adds to the overall situation.
