In a recent revelation by royal expert Neil Sean, Prince Harry is reportedly questioning the whereabouts of his mother-in-law, Doria Ragland, during a significant period of her life.
Although Tom Bower, a renowned author, has new information about Doria, he has refrained from disclosing it due to legal reasons.
However, Bower claims that Harry has been struggling with drug addiction for the past 25 years, specifically highlighting his regular use of marijuana.
Bower further alleged that Doria was involved in drug dealing when she met Thomas Markle, Meghan’s father.
According to him, their relationship ended due to Doria’s heavy drug use.
Speculations have also circulated that Doria Ragland served a prison sentence of four to five years for tax evasion related to a travel agency business, which Thomas had purchased for her.
These rumors may explain her absence from Meghan’s life during a significant part of her childhood.
Reports suggest that Tom Bower will update his book “Revenge” to shed light on the mysteries surrounding Doria’s missing years.
However, no accessible legal court records currently substantiate the claim of Doria having a criminal record.
Although hard copies of such records might still exist, a thorough search has yielded no concrete evidence.
If Doria did serve time in prison, it is likely that family members, guards, prison staff, volunteers, halfway house residents, and other inmates would have encountered her.
Born to an antique dealer and a nurse in Cleveland, Doria grew up in a humble family and attended an ordinary school.
She possessed beauty that attracted older boyfriends, and rumors spread about her involvement with a high school teacher.
This resulted in an early pregnancy and subsequent placement of the child into foster care.
Following her parents’ divorce, her father remarried a woman of the same age as Doria, and they all maintained a harmonious relationship.
After graduating from high school, Doria opted not to pursue higher education.
She occasionally worked part-time at a hair salon until one of her brothers assisted her in moving to Hollywood.
There, she began working in the dressing room of a studio, while still yearning for a glamorous bohemian lifestyle filled with never-ending parties.
Doria aspired to be more than just a makeup artist; she aimed to immerse herself in the world of actors rather than the film crew.
It is rumored that Doria relentlessly pursued her goal, leaving no stone unturned.
At one of the parties hosted by director and producer Jerry Cohen, Doria encountered Thomas Markle, who courageously defended her when she faced harassment from an intoxicated director.
At the time, Thomas was a well-off lighting director, earning an impressive annual salary of $200,000.
He took care of Doria and silenced any rumors about her questionable reputation.
Doria appreciated his chivalrous demeanor, but perhaps more importantly, she was attracted to his financial stability.
Interestingly, Doria did not invite her estranged father to her wedding, mirroring a similar decision made by her daughter, Meghan.
However, unlike Meghan, Doria extended invitations to the rest of her family.
Determined to avoid working at a film studio, she convinced her affluent husband to establish a travel company for her.
Additionally, she did not postpone the birth of their child, leading to the arrival of Meghan.
The enigmatic past of Doria Ragland continues to intrigue many, with Tom Bower’s forthcoming book promising to shed light on the missing years.
As speculation and rumors persist, the truth behind Doria’s absence from Meghan’s life and her alleged involvement in criminal activities remains shrouded in mystery.
