A source claims that Meghan Markle is planning to travel to the US to meet her mother, Doria Ragland. The reunion comes amid the arrest of her estranged father, Thomas Sr., on federal charges related to explicit material involving child abuse. This update also comes a few days after reports suggested that the Sussexes were planning to include Doria in their Christmas celebrations, regardless of whether they spend the holiday in the UK or the US.
Sources say Meghan Markle plans to return to US
A source said that Markle has missed her mother, Doria, ever since relocating from the US to the UK for an extended period. They added that the ongoing legal drama surrounding her estranged father has made her miss her mother even more. “They’ve been speaking a lot. Being able to talk to her mom helps, even though she wishes they could be together,” they continued.
Markle had earlier addressed the legal situation concerning her father in a statement. She said the news deeply “distressed” her and expressed sympathy for the victims. She added that sources informed her in 2018 about “troubling and disturbing allegations” against her father.
However, officials reassured the Duchess of Sussex that investigators were examining the matter thoroughly. “Although the breadth of what has now been uncovered is more sickening than one could ever imagine,” she continued.
“My sincerest hope is that justice will be fully served and that the priority remains the safety and protection of innocent children,” she added.
This update follows a recent report about the Sussexes’ holiday plans. Notably, they will likely fly out of the UK rather than wait for a royal Christmas invitation. However, a contrary report suggests they won’t be leaving the country and will instead spend time at another property on their billionaire friend’s estate.
