Since Prince William and Kate Middleton’s wedding in 2011, the spotlight has not only been on the future Queen Consort but also on her parents, Michael and Carol Middleton.
In a biography by Moody, titled “Kate,” it was revealed that Carol’s previous training as a British Airways (BA) employee proved invaluable when Kate married Prince William.
Carol, after refreshing her French language skills, sought a job as ground staff at British Airways.
It was during this time that she met Michael Middleton, who also worked as ground crew before becoming a flight dispatcher, while Carol eventually became a cabin crew member.
This starkly contrasts with the situation surrounding Meghan Markle’s mother, Doria Ragland, whose employment history remains shrouded in uncertainty.
Although she claims to have worked as a flight attendant for EasyJet, there is no concrete evidence or documentation to support this.
Even Johan Lundgren, the CEO of EasyJet, denied the existence of an employee named Doria in the 80s.
EasyJet, a British low-cost airline group, operates both domestic and international scheduled services across numerous countries.
The lack of evidence regarding Doria Ragland’s alleged career as a flight attendant raises questions.
During the 80s, being a stewardess was considered a prestigious job, and it was customary for women to have their photographs taken in uniform.
Strangely, no such photographs of Doria Ragland from that time seem to exist.
What could be the reason behind this apparent absence of evidence?
The answer remains uncertain.
Furthermore, allegations have emerged suggesting that Doria Ragland had a run-in with the law due to tax evasion related to her travel agency business.
Rumor has it that the business was purchased for her by Thomas Markle Sr., which may explain their absence from Meghan Markle’s life during her formative years.
However, alternative explanations posit that Doria entered a new relationship, leaving no room for Meghan, and that Thomas lived in a better area with access to superior schooling.
While the latter explanation appears more plausible, the jail rumor continues to persist.
Another intriguing aspect is the claim that Thomas Markle Sr. won a substantial sum of $700,000 in the lottery.
However, this windfall did not bring him happiness as it was allegedly obtained through less-than-honest means.
Acting on his wife’s advice, Thomas used his connections to secure the win.
It was during this tumultuous period that Doria decided to divorce him.
She left without waiting for the divorce to be finalized and filed for alimony, seeking financial support not only for her daughter but also for herself.
Thomas Markle’s drinking problem emerged during this time.
Since the travel company was officially registered under Thomas’s name, Doria sought to create problems for him by evading taxes in the United States.
Tax evasion is a serious crime that can lead to imprisonment.
With a previous suspended criminal record, Doria hoped to see her ex-husband behind bars for an extended period.
However, witnesses informed the tax authorities that she was solely responsible for the firm’s affairs, despite official documents stating otherwise.
The case was subsequently referred to the criminal police department and ultimately to court.
Doria faced a potential sentence of 15 years, but thanks to Thomas’s compassion, she received a four-year prison term for financial fraud, facilitated by the employment of a skilled lawyer.
In other news, Meghan Markle’s mother, Doria Ragland, recently enjoyed an artistic outing in California.
The 66-year-old was spotted attending an exhibition by artist Honor Titus in Beverly Hills, followed by a pleasant dinner at a local restaurant.
It seems that Meghan and her husband were also having a delightful time.
As the enigmatic gaps in Doria Ragland’s past continue to pique curiosity, the truth behind her employment history and legal troubles remains elusive.
The mysteries surrounding her life only deepen, leaving us with more questions than answers.
