Doria Ragland’s Missing Years: The Truth Behind the Rumours

The Netflix documentary Harry and Meghan has brought Doria Ragland, Meghan Markle's mother, into the spotlight once again.

Tom Bauer is set to release an updated edition of his book Revenge in the Spring, which will examine Doria's missing years during Meghan's childhood.

In previous interviews, Thomas Markle, Meghan's father, claimed that Doria was absent for around 12 years.

Friends of Doria's have said that she worked as a flight attendant after separating from Thomas Markle, but rumours persist that she went to jail for not paying taxes related to her travel agency business.

This may explain her absence from Meghan's life during her school years.

One reason that the jail rumours persist is the lack of evidence that Doria ever worked as a flight attendant.

There is no information about which airline she worked for or what routes she flew.

There are no photographs of her in uniform, which is unusual for the time period when working as a stewardess was considered a high-status job.

On an online forum site, a resident of Mexico claimed that Doria actually worked as a clerk at a travel agency.

Some speculate that Doria lied about her job to be compared to Catherine's mother, Carol Middleton, who was a flight attendant for British Airways for three years in her 20s.

Samantha Markle, Meghan's half-sister, has been accused of lying about details of her childhood to make her life sound more like a fairy tale than it ever was.

She recently appeared on the conservative network GB News along with her brother Thomas Markle Jr. Samantha disputed Harry and Meghan's claims that they left royal life to escape the bullying of the media, calling it “poppycock.”

She also disputed the claim that the palace didn't permit Samantha's daughter Ashley, who shares a close relationship with Meghan, to attend the royal wedding because of her mother's behaviour.

Samantha called this an outright lie and accused the palace of being conniving and manipulative.

Ironically, Samantha also took a dig at Meghan's own mother in the GB News interview.

Doria admitted regretting not preparing Meghan enough for the challenges she might face as a biracial woman.

Doria's biggest fear about Meghan was knowing that her daughter was under such mental strain that she was contemplating suicide.

Samantha called Doria's professional credentials into question, stating that if she knew her daughter was depressed and suicidal, she should have done more to help her.

In conclusion, the rumours surrounding Doria Ragland's missing years during Meghan's childhood persist due to a lack of evidence about her job as a flight attendant and the possibility that she went to jail for not paying taxes related to her travel agency business.

Samantha Markle's accusations against Doria's professional credentials may be unfounded, but they add to the complexity of the situation.

The truth behind Doria's absence from Meghan's life may never be fully known, but the Netflix documentary and Tom Bauer's updated book may shed more light on the matter.
