Desperate Meghan calls on mum Doria to end Markle debacle

It’s the ugly family drama that’s spilled out into the public eye, causing Meghan Markle heartache and embarrassment.

But while we’ve heard from the Duchess of Sussex’s bitter dad Thomas, her outspoken half-sister Samantha, and “disappointed” half-brother Thomas Jr, there’s one key player who hasn’t put her two cents in – Meghan’s mum Doria Ragland.

While Meghan has reportedly been adamant she doesn’t want to drag her yoga-teacher mum into the drama, a source has now revealed the newlywed has had enough and is calling in the big guns.

As the 74-year-old former lighting director continues to speak publicly about the family rift that has ruined his relationship with Meghan and left him without any way of contacting her, the 37-year-old actress is sick of sitting silently by.

“What frustrates Meghan the most is that her father doesn’t seem to take responsibility for any his actions, as if he can do no harm, and everyone else is to blame,” the source told the Daily Mail.

‘Well, he is harming her by putting down the royal family. He’s harming her by making everything public. And the more he speaks with the media, the more she wants to stay away.”

It’s believed Meghan will use an upcoming trip home to California to visit friends and family to speak to her mum, and try and get her to help diffuse the powder keg situation.

“If anyone can talk some sense into her dad, it’s Doria,” the source added. “Meghan is now open to the possibility of her mum working some magic behind the scenes.”

Doria, 62, and Thomas divorced when Meghan was six years old, with Doria making her home in Los Angeles while her ex-husband moved to Mexico.

With Meghan now said to be hugely embarrassed by her family situation, insiders say it might be cause for Doria to put aside her differences with Thomas and help stop him from any further humiliation.

“Their divorce was quite acrimonious, and they really lived very separate lives and would only connect when necessary,” a source told The Sun.
