It’s no secret that Meghan Markle and her mum Doria Ragland share a very close bond and the doting grandmother is also instrumental in raising Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
However, Doria is not holding back on her views amid the ongoing security risk her daughter and her family faces in Britain. Family sources have revealed that Meghan has received a stern warning from her mother about her next move.
“Doria told Meghan to think very carefully before moving back,” a family source Rob Shuter. “She watched what Britain did to her daughter the first time. She saw the pressure, the criticism and the toll it took. She’s terrified history will repeat itself.”
Meghan shared a glimpse into her delightful life in UK but the 70-year-old is sceptical as a protective mother, but she is “not rooting against” her daughter.
“Doria loves Meghan enough to tell her what she doesn’t want to hear,” the source added, noting that there is no falling out between the mother-daughter duo. “Meghan believes she’s stronger now and can make Britain work on her own terms. Doria desperately wants her to be right.”
Moreover, she is also reeling from the heartbreak of not having Archie and Lilibet around.
“Those grandchildren are Doria’s world,” the source shared. “A few weeks ago, they were close enough to hug. Now there’s an ocean between them. That’s devastating.”
Meanwhile, Doria is doing what mothers do: protect their children.
