Meghan Markle is reportedly distancing herself from her mom, Doria Ragland.
According to Woman’s Day, Prince Harry’s wife has also banned her mom from seeing her 11-month-old son, Archie.
The dubious claim went as far as saying that Markle is using the coronavirus pandemic as an excuse to distance herself from the yoga instructor. Since it is a requirement for people to self-isolate, the “Suits” is trying to pass her decision to distance from her mom as just that.
“I’ve heard they barely speak anyway. Doria is finding it very hard to adjust to this new life, she lives alone and doesn’t feel comfortable leaving much anymore, and Meghan’s barely done a thing to help her,” an unnamed source told the tabloid.
The insider went on to say that Markle only became close to her mom recently. But while she was growing up, the Duchess of Sussex was much closer to her dad, Thomas Markle Sr.
Additionally, the source said that one cannot help but wonder if Markle and Ragland’s seemingly close relation was just an activity during the former’s royal wedding.
While the tabloid isn’t the first to claim that Markle and Ragland aren’t close, there is no proof that Prince Harry’s wife is distancing from her mom. It is also untrue that Markle is keeping Archie away from Ragland.
In fact, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s recent move to Los Angeles only mean that they are much closer to Ragland. After the lockdown, it is highly likely that they will reunite.
Last month, Closer Weekly claimed that Prince Harry and Markle planned to visit Ragland with Archie. However, the trip to Ragland’s home did not push through due to the lockdown.
A source told the publication that Ragland is excited to reunite with her daughter because she knows how miserable her life has been in London.
Earlier this year, a source told Us Weekly that Markle is not really close to her mom. Before returning to the United States, the insider said that Ragland had no plans to relocate to Canada to be with the Sussexes.
Prince Harry and Markle stayed at a secluded property in Canada for two months after they announced their decision to quit the royal family.
“Doria would only see Meghan once or twice a year while filming ‘Suits’ in Toronto. Meghan isn’t as close to her mom as is known,” the source said.
