Oh God I wish he would just shut the fuck up !

These are my thoughts too on so many contributing to this situation.

Why would Thomas J and Samantha not have dined out on that one if was true?

Tom and Sam have discussed Doria's time in jail
and her drug use. However this pair not the most reliable

Agree. If they have nothing to hand to over shadow then just get in on the coat tails.

It’s an interesting change in tone from the usual banging on and demanding reconciliation etc to now almost obsequious - over explaining, sort of begging - suggests to me that this is his only communication channel to KC3 to get any messages through.

Also very revealing that they have nothing on the slate for the rest of the year except one joint public engagement - I wonder if it’s KC3 carol concert or PC carol concert.

I imagine there's more chance of seeing Tom junior at the Carol services

The records are expunged, which you can do in America. On Youtube there is an interview with Tom Bower about his book Revenge, about the Sussexes. In the interview, he says "At X point, Doria disappears from Megan's life for X number of years. Legally, I can't tell you why." Well, I can. I am married to someone with a lot of contacts. He was a journalist on a UK national newspaper for six years - it probably qualifies as the most feared one. He's now a columnist on an American national paper, but still writes for Private Eye sometimes and of course is still in touch with his colleagues back on the UK national. He says that the jail sentence for drugs is what Bower is referring to, which he got direct from the source and which is well-known among journalists on national papers. DH said they have never published it because it's not Meghan's fault. National newspapers do have a code of ethics, I guess. And there might be a super-injunction but I'm not sure. I don't think I asked him. We are divorcing but amicable, and this came up quite some time ago when we were having lunch.

Wow. Thank you for this.

None of us know where she was. If she wasn't in jail, where was she? Who was she with. And why. All of this impacts on MM and the way she is today.

That's not really a 'point'. It's pure speculation.

And like I say, if Doria was in prison a lot of people would have to have known. It's not credible that not a single one of those people has not blabbed about it over the course of the past decade. And that's assuming that the 'records were expunged' which sounds like another layer of fantasy to me.

It's a bit like the surrogacy 'rumours'. Speculation piled about speculation piled upon rumours from 'people on X' or 'posters on Reddit'. Nothing in the way of hard facts.

I was answering your question about why no-one who knew Doria when she was supposedly incarcerated has come forward, by quoting CrazyMidget - the journos all know and aren't interested in buying the story.

I wasn't intending to indicate I was buying in to the speculation.

But on the surrogacy thing, the Birkenhead footage is.... weird.

The police on day one said they were referring themselves to the IOPC for their handling of it - that hasn’t happened yet.

Not quite.

What the statement actually said about referral:

The MPS is reviewing the handling of this matter in 2019 and considering whether a referral to the IOPC is necessary to review our approach.

And as of now, I still can’t see an update on this - and I’m looking for one. Anyone else seen anything?

Personally I’d have thought the logical explanation would be rehab/ other medical facility (HIPAA) + leaving Meghan where she was settled and stable during turbulent tween/teen years.

H has nothing to offer that the RF might want. A promise to stop sabotaging royal events seems to be all Liam can offer.

But the last time there were negotiations to address this - HAM leaked the meeting to CG at the DM, then HAM PR blamed BP and everyone retreated unhappy. Except the DM, who ended up with three stories - the meeting itself, HAM annoyance at BP for leaking the meeting, and finally CG's reveal that it was HAM that had leaked all along.

What has been said about the one joint public engagement you allude to, please?

Thats just not true that they have said she was in jail. It’s a well known internet misinformation trope - GB News Carole Malone had to apologise on air for repeating this false claim.

A 2022 article

'In certain ways, Meghan is like other famous people, particularly in Hollywood, who may be given to omitting uncomfortable details, glossing over timelines and embellishing or even fabricating events in their lives as they build their public personas. Right now, Meghan doesn’t want Thomas Markle anywhere near her public persona.'

'Meghan Markle shares a sweet moment with her mother, Doria Ragland, and lavishes praise on her while painting a picture of Ragland as a burdened single mother who was solely responsible for her upbringing. Anyone who has read about Meghan’s childhood in Los Angeles, however, might wonder about the idea that Ragland was on her own to raise the future TV actor who married Prince Harry. Meghan’s statement — “She took care of me and the house and herself. She was juggling so much.”'

'Before Meghan fell out with her father, she described all the juggling he did to take care of her. In a Father’s Day post on her former website, The Tig, Meghan said she spent her weekends with her father, when he “religiously” took her to Saturday ballet and tap classes even after he worked more than 75 hours during the week. She said they’d always celebrate with a restaurant lunch of club sandwiches and fruit smoothies.'

“The blood, sweat and tears this man (who came from so little in a small town of Pennsylvania) invested in my future so I could grow up to have so much,” Meghan began in a post on The Tig. “He is the person who believed in this grand dream of mine well before I could see it as a possibility.”

A dragonfly eye has 30,000 lenses. Meghan's eye has a least that many, so adept is she at changing her perspective on elements of her life story.

The article linked above states / references

'Just before Meghan turned 9 in 1990, Ragland announced that she would need to be away for weeks at a time as she travelled around the country to start a new clothing and jewelry business, Bower reported. At that point, Thomas agreed to take full responsibility for their daughter, and Meghan moved permanently into his home, a large converted barn “in a stylish neighborhood close to Hollywood Boulevard.”'

Nope, nothing and I doubt we will hear anything about it going forward either, the mystery of the missing MET letter will be swept under the carpet I suspect.

Tom Markle junior / Cruise, Dick Turpin or Harry Belafonte are all more likely to be at the carol services than Harry (Prince of England)

I read a while ago that 'Carole Malone was forced to apologise for stating falsely that Doria had spent time in prison.' Make of that what you will. This is reported on a number of news sites.

Doria Ragland is really beautiful, she looks genuine too. And she's the only one on Meghan's side who has kept her mouth shut from the beginning. She's the Princess (!) Anne of the Markle Debacle (Trade Marked)

This letter will disappear into the ether. Just like Doria did for a few years (no explanation given)

She is really beautiful but from what I remember, she spouted a lot of nonsense on the documentary regarding race etc but I got the impression she was reading from a script
