Prince Harry and Meghan Markle just added someone else to their household. And now, that’s not a cute lead-up to a new rescue puppy. Instead, Meghan’s mother Doria Ragland moved in.
But as described below, the Duke of Sussex has manipulated publicity about the situation to portray himself as a victim in two ways. Get all the details below.
Meghan Markle Moves Mom Into Mansion
A husband, a wife, two kids, and a mother-in-law make for a busy household. But Meghan Markle’s and Prince Harry’s mansion offers enough space for the Duchess of Sussex’s mother, Doria Ragland. And Doria, 67, now lives almost full-time with Meghan, Harry, and her grandchildren, per MSN.
However, Ragland moved into the Montecito mansion to help her daughter, son-in-law, grandson Prince Archie, 4, and granddaughter Princess Lilibet, 2, through their current challenges. And it also means that Doria can spend time with the family without driving back and forth to her home in Los Angeles, three hours from Montecito.
But an insider shared, “2023 was a tough year for both Harry and Meghan. And Doria has been there for them.” However, the source added, “Doria looks fighting fit. But she’s nearly 70 and gets tired of the car rides from her home to see her daughter and grandchildren.”
Meghan Markle Turns To Mom
And the source pointed out, “It takes nearly three hours to drive one way. So, it made sense for her to move into the guesthouse.” As a result, Doria “now spends more time there than in her own house.”
And amid multiple failures last year, Meghan turned to her mother. From the end of their Spotify partnership to the lack of any profitable brand partnerships, the Duchess of Sussex and Duke of Sussex finished out 2023 receiving the label of Hollywood’s “biggest losers.”
However, Harry does sometimes need “alone time,” admitted the insider, making the Duke of Sussex sound like a victim who suffers to allow his wife’s mother to live with them.
But Doria reportedly learned to take notice of Harry’s requirements, heading off “to the guesthouse to make herself scarce when needed.” And overall, the source shared that Meghan’s mother “has basically become the mother of the household.”
Prince Harry Returns To Victim Role
And the insider then pointed out that Harry claims he never received any warmth or kindness growing up. However, despite the Duke of Sussex repeatedly portraying himself as a victim of a cold, icy family, King Charles recently starred in a documentary showcasing his affection for his family and exposing Harry’s lies!
But the source added, “Harry loves to be mothered, so he finds Doria being there very refreshing.” And according to the insider, “Harry appreciates the warmth and kindness that Doria brings to the family. He doesn’t get that from his side of the family,” claimed the insider, referencing all the complaints Harry made in his memoir Spare about his supposed lack of love growing up.
In the 2022 Harry & Meghan documentary series, Ragland recalled when Meghan told her that she had begun dating Prince Harry. “When she told me, we were on the phone. And she says, ‘Mommy, I’m going out with Prince Harry.’ And I started whispering, ‘Oh my God’.”
But Doria described how her daughter cautioned her to stay quiet. And after meeting the Duke of Sussex in person, Meghan’s mom felt impressed to see the “handsome man with red hair” and “really great manners.” She felt that the two “looked really happy together, like he was the one.”

These articles are all a joke couple days ago. I just read where Harry kicked his mother-in-law out. He can’t stand her and doesn’t talk to her. Plus, it’s the same story over and over and over. I’m sick of it. Get a life people.
Everyone knows all they do is LIE. Plus this is so old. Their P.R. people can’t help.
