This week, we’ve received some emails from a person who is clearly waging a campaign to convince media outlets to blame the Duchess of Sussex for her father’s depravity. The argument being that the Met Police gave Meghan a copy of Roslyn Loveless’s letter in January 2019, and they advised her not to say anything publicly while they investigated, therefore it’s Meghan’s fault that the Met Police failed to pass the letter along to the relevant authorities or investigate Thomas Markle themselves. Left unsaid from this argument is that Loveless also contacted British journalists and they failed to report on Loveless’s claims or investigate whatsoever, plus they failed to turn in Loveless’s claims to the police. Add to all of that, Meghan has made it abundantly clear that she sought and received legal counsel on how to handle this situation, and she is seemingly the only one who kept a copy of Loveless’s letter, because the Met Police “lost” the original. There’s a lot of blame to go around, but none of it falls on Meghan’s shoulders. Anyway, People Magazine’s cover story this week is all about this situation and how Meghan is handling everything.
Meghan is devastated: From her new home in the English countryside, Meghan, 45, has watched troubling revelations about her father emerge in real time. “She is devastated. This is her dad, someone she grew up trusting and was very close to for many years,” a source close to Meghan tells PEOPLE in this week’s cover story. “The allegations are devastating for her. There’s a lot of sadness.” Still, Meghan has a strong support system around her. “She’s holding up. She has a lot of friends and family to lean on,” says an insider.
She’s leaning on family: As the investigation unfolds, Meghan is leaning on her family and focusing on protecting Archie and Lilibet, with a source telling PEOPLE, “The children are such a comfort to her right now”
Doria Ragland helped the FBI: As investigators work to establish the full scope of the allegations against Markle Sr., Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland, 70, has already assisted authorities. Ragland, who was married to Thomas Sr. from 1979 to 1987, was shown redacted versions of suspected child sexual abuse images and helped identify her former husband as the man pictured.
Meghan misses Doria: “Meghan and her mother are very close,” says the insider. “They’re supporting each other.” Meghan, too, is prepared to cooperate with authorities investigating the allegations, a source close to her confirms. She and Ragland, who lives in L.A., have been in frequent contact. “She misses her mom since moving to England, and this makes her miss her even more,” says the source. “They’ve been speaking a lot. Being able to talk to her mom helps, even though she wishes they could be together.”
The years-long British media campaign to force Meghan to see her father: The disclosures have prompted some to reconsider the criticism leveled at Meghan over her estrangement. “There has been a certain amount of rethinking from some people on the duchess,” notes royal biographer Robert Hardman. Says the insider: “I think people are beginning to understand why Meghan made certain decisions, even when she faced criticism for them. The public doesn’t always know the truth, and it’s important to remember that there’s often much more happening behind the scenes than people realize.”
Will the Windsors get in touch? Whether the royal family might reach out privately is another question. “It is a very private matter. It is up to the King to speak to them, but he should only do it privately,” says royal commentator Ingrid Seward, author of Catherine & Diana. “I am sure he will. Any father would do that.” But Hardman believes the legal sensitivity surrounding the investigation makes even a private approach complicated. “Anything to do with any legal process, as we have seen with the former Prince Andrew case, is something they will avoid at all costs,” he says, referring to the former Duke of York’s ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. “Even a private conversation could be misconstrued.”
The Sussexes’ life in the UK: Away from their public obligations, Meghan and Harry are finding comfort in family life. Archie and Lilibet, who started school in England following the family’s return to the U.K. in August, have settled into their new routine outside London. “The children are such a comfort to her right now,” says a California source. “She’s so grateful they’re doing well, and she loves watching them grow up. Amid everything going on, it means so much to her to be with them and give them all the love she can.”
Holiday plans: The family plans to spend Thanksgiving in the U.K., with activities in their local community on the calendar. They are also hoping to celebrate Christmas at their new home, with Meghan’s mother expected to join them. As the investigation continues, Meghan is focused on the life she and Harry have built for Archie and Lilibet — and keeping the upheaval surrounding their grandfather far removed from their childhood. It is a boundary she has maintained for years, even as her estrangement from her father drew public scrutiny. “The children are very protected,” says the insider. “That has always been part of the reason for her distance.”
This makes me so mad: “They’ve been speaking a lot. Being able to talk to her mom helps, even though she wishes they could be together.” There’s no reason why Meghan can’t be with her mom! There’s no reason why Meghan and the kids can’t be in California right now! Meghan is back in that awful, toxic environment yet again because she loves her husband. If Harry had any sense, he would take Meghan and the kids back to California immediately! Looking at how sad and drawn she looked in Brussels, Meghan is not in a great place emotionally and physically. This Thomas Markle situation has also revealed the long-standing media collusion and high-level cover-up in the UK, which is yet another reason why the Sussexes need to get the f–k out of there.

If this is what it takes to persuade them that their future is outside of the UK, then they have to just get through it as best they can, as quite literally the only people party to the entire shocking situation with a clear conscience. Accountability is clearly not the forte of the institution or its enablers. They’ve winked at child abusers for years. All the more reason to leave when the Invictus games are over, never to return, except for visits to the Spencers. Who increasingly look like the only sane people on the island with any clout.
Harry get her home to her mum pronto! or bring her mum over, we could all see how fragile she is in brussels, i’m not sure Charles is worth your wife in this case i’m sorry to say this.
She’s looking as drawn as she was right before they left the first time and the way she looked during the Oprah interview when she talked about all the abuse she went through. I’m sure this stuff with Tom is emotionally upsetting, but I posit that it wouldn’t feel as earth-shattering if she were somewhere that felt emotionally safe.
Hard to imagine what it’s like to be Meghan right now, but what if she was actually relieved, or even HAPPY, that Thomas the Paedo has been found out?
What if what’s really upsetting her is being dragged AGAIN, her photo splashed everywhere next to the words “child sexual abuse” and “arrested by the FBI” and “in jail”, Thomas Paedo being referred to as “her father” with the words ESTRANGED missing (and buried way down the article, if mentioned at all), her haters re-energised with a new attack line that all this is a) her fault, and b) her problem?
I think articles like the above go way too far in making Thomas’ crimes Meghan’s problem.
What the media should be saying if they genuinely cared about Meghan is that she must be so relieved that she made the right call and distanced herself and her family from Paedo Markle Sr, left the authorities to deal with it, and now can hold her head up high, and get on with her life.
Not all this “she’s so devastated and miserable” stuff, which implies guilt.
I look at this and I think surely they’re both aware that Harry family knew about all of this and still chose to abuse M through the papers and are still abusing her through the papers. Even with all of this, does harry still want a relationship with his father, he still wants his children to kniw his father and be subjected to the same abuse? Because let’s not fool ourselves to believing that their children won’t share the same fate the older they get and the longer they’re in the U.K. I honestly try and stay away from these stories because it’s triggering and it’s overwhelming. Someone can be really strong and still falter and can still break regardless if they’re loved and have the best mental health care in the world.
It’s the obvious abuse which the media is not even trying to hide which bothers me most. I’m not some Sussex fan girl, but this latest torrent of verbal and emotional abuse has me pissed. And if I am pissed, what must Meghan be feeling, on top of all the horrible developments with her father? I don’t know how she stands it. And I really hope that her husband understands this can’t go on forever if he really cares for her and wants to protect her from harm.
It was clear from the start that Meghan was the target of emotional abuse from Thomas and his two other offspring. Abuse doesn’t have to be se#@ual in order to be abuse. And that was obvious to the tabs but didn’t keep them from adding to it.
If this is to believed, I’m surprised that Harry and Meghan wouldn’t want to go home for Christmas especially after this situation. Plus, People reported last month that Meghan was making plans to spend Christmas in Montecito so was that initial report made up or is this one false. I am positive that Charles has not reached out to Meghan. Why should he anyway? The more that information comes out the more it looks like the Palace was involved in the suppression of the letter and that they endorsed the press’ weaponisation of Meghan’s father against her.
@Amy Bea … Sometime last month the Sussex Team put out a statement that Harry and Meghan had decided to let Doria decide where Christmas would be spent this year. Evidently, Doria decided to spend Christmas in the UK.
I’m starting to find the timing of this all a bit sus. What are the chances of this story finally breaking a few short weeks after meghans return to the UK? It’s most likely a coincidence, but my tinfoil hat is looking really tempting right now. Could someone have given tom Jr the motivation to shop his dad in so suddenly?
Oh I’ll join you in conspiracy land. Everyone seemingly knew about this and kept it secret until this moment? The last thing they want is Meghan in the UK. Seeing her out in London or in Nottingham is their nightmare. I’m praying hard for her.
I can kind of jump on this. We know Tom Jr reported this in July, sure. But idk I can see this too. The way the information was dropped right after the successful Birmingham visit. Commenters here and on SM saying how ridiculous it is for them to move back and making it seem like it’s all about Harry and not Meghan also making that choice. Calling the move a flop. There is a contingent of people that don’t want them in the uk at all ever, not for a second, for a few months not nothing. And what better way to do that then to turn their own supporters against them. It wasn’t that hard to do for some. You can see the same types of comments here as you can on Twitter.
IIRC, Tom Jr told The Scum that he found the stuff in July when he was looking for a cellphone for his girlfriend’s father (or grandfather). That’s when he “reported” it to the FBI Hotline, the US-based National Center for Exploited and Missing Children. He apparently also reported it to Pennsylvania State Police because Tom Sr was living in Pennsylvania at the time. Then Jr said several weeks passed and nothing was happening so he got nervous (jump to para-3 if bored).
Personally have no knowledge about how good the monitoring of the FBI Hotline is, but, as you might know, the DOJ has been gutted. Wholesale firings of FBI, DOGE sweeps, you name it. And Todd Blanche is acting like he’s tRump’s personal attorney for prosecuting Rump’s revenge tantrums. (Getting ready to watch YT pod of ‘Is the DOJ completely gone’ (or similar) with Kara Swisher, Hillary and Rachel Maddow.) We also don’t know anything about Sr’s whereabouts or meanderings between Pennsylvania and Florida. These would all be complicating factors in tracking down an elderly alleged PDFile who might be in and out of nursing homes.
Tom Jr said he got nervous after several weeks that nothing was being done, so he decided to check the remaining unopened boxes and hire a local IT expert to help him access three computer disk drives. Shocking images were interspersed with innocent footage of Meghan at UN. Horrifying mishmash of probable dangerous illegal CSA, family photos, and professional work was found. At that point, Jr contacted local LEOs in Cebu City, national Women and Children’s Protection Centre Task Force in Philippines. He also made a more rigorous attempt to contact FBI investigators in the USA.
Given Jr’s past history, it is my personal supposition that he also contacted brittabloids, or perhaps just The Scum, either before or simultaneously with his more serious attempt to report the collected junk to law enforcement. Either way, it’s unclear how much time passed between Jr’s initial July phone call to the hotline, and the more thorough LEO reporting, just “several weeks.”
I feel the same. The RF are trying to shame her into leaving, AGAIN!
@Jayblue; there are no coincidences in real life. Someone wanted this to happen.
Yes, anding the conspiracy in another direction. I’m starting to wonder if their move to the UK had something to do with Tom Sr being back in America? Maybe they felt safe in California while he was in Mexico or the Philippines, but when he was back in the states they wanted to maintain actual physical distance….hence moving back to the UK.
I feel for Meghan and Doria, and I hope for their sakes that the Sussexes relocate back to Montecito after Invictus Birmingham.
I hate Derangers with every fiber of my body.
Why is anything Meghan’s fault?
Why hasn’t anyone ever questioned the York sisters about anything, much less the Pizza Express incident?
Why aren’t BM and Derangers yelling at the taxpayer-funded Left-Behinds who have deep, deep ties into everything PDFile, including David Walliams and Bad Dad Toxic Tom. And Lord Moutbatten, Laurens van der Post, Jimmy Savile, Bishop Peter Ball, CRex’s own brother Andrew. It’s not like we don’t remember how Scooter and Mumblina would prefer having Paedrew as a neighbour to H&M.
Last but not least: we all know by now that so many papers received Roslyn’s letter *in 2018* — so the Met probably lied about January 2019. Why did Piss Moron and KuKluxDan Rotten and so many others platform TM Sr? Why did the Derangers support a GFM for PDFile Dad’s 80th birthday?
I hope her mom flies over & stays a month at least. Not sure with everything happening if you’d want to fly the whole family back to the states. Who has the energy for that & it might be great for the kids to celebrate Christmas with the Spencer family. To me it makes more sense to just fly the mom over, as they are settling into a new home as well.
I think Meghan has more guts, she will not allow the Daily Mail and its friends to drive her life as they have been trying to do for years.
Omg Kaiser what do you mean someone is emailing you trying to convince media outlets to paint Meghan as the one who is at fault??? Who is doing that????
I’m intrigued by this. Kaiser you need to talk about this on the podcast. I’m guessing it was a deranger who sent the email.
I agree with Amy Bee, this matter needs to be discussed further. There is no way that Meghan can possibly be blamed for her fathers’ actions. No sane person would even consider the idea that anyone other than the alleged perpetrator is responsible. Who are these people trying to blame Meghan are anyway?
Exactly only the abuser is responsible for the abuse.
State the obvious fact here. Child abuse photos date back in some instances to the 1970s. Meghan wasn’t born until 1981. How can she be “responsible” for anybody else’s actions and certainly not for crimes committed before she was born?
By that irrationality are Russell Brand’s three kids all aged 10 and under somehow “responsible” for their father’s criminal conduct decades before they were born!??
Why kind of sicko would go to the effort of emailing media outlets to convince them to blame a daughter for her father’s crimes?????
Sam….
The met police’s lack of action, the RF’s very obvious coverup and the BM’s abuse all while knowing the truth is what makes me mad. May karma come for them all.
I really hope she gets to go home. I’m so devastated for her. I view Harry a bit differently now, especially if they remain.
As someone above said Meghan & Doria have the means to be together right now. If they aren’t maybe it’s because of obligations they have on both sides. Like Doria may have work commitments that may mean she can’t just go to uk right now.
Not sure why Meghan is being treated like some wallflower with no mind of her own who is directed by her husband rather than the independent woman she is with her own business, investments etc who came into the marriage with her own profile & resources. Meghan didn’t back down to Kate over bridesmaid dresses, told William to get his finger out her face , corrected Harry when he came at her sideways, didn’t give in to her father’s emotional blackmail despite the press bullying, didn’t give in to palace pressure to visit her father in Mexico and sued the Fail when the palace told her not to and despite the press witness intimidation over years. Meghan has posted her life on sm despite constant bullying and followed through with her commitment on Tuesday when it would have been totally understandable to cancel. I think Meghan has shown she’s not a pushover so If she’s in UK right now I’m pretty sure it’s not against her will.
This Thomas stuff was always going to come out one day & given the nature of the alleged crimes, was always gonna have a real impact on Meghan given it’s her father.
Ive seen all US networks cover this story, mainstream papers and crime shows so it has been a big story in USA so not like Meghan could escape it by being in Montecito. The fbi director has been discussing the case and republicans have been calling for the death penalty for Thomas. So being in US wouldn’t provide real distance to this story right now. If this case goes to trial given that the Markles are stunt queens I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a bit of a circus & apparently it may move from Florida to California because the material leading to his arrest was discovered in a LA storage space. So I don’t think Montecito will be this haven where she can be completely removed from the stuff around Bad dad anyway
ABritGuest – agreed on all.
Sr’s trial, if it happens at all, will be in California. So imho the Sussexes being in Cotswolds (or wherever UK) is ideal. Having her mom there will be great; hope she’s able to stay for a good long while. Deadline for Tom Sr’s psychiatric evaluator to report back to FL Fed Magistrate is 11/20/26. So we’ll have to wait after that to see what Judge Griffin decides.
I can totally imagine her not wanting to be in the same country as her father right now. That would make full sense to me. Doesn’t Doria own and operate a therapy business? She’ll more than likely spend the holidays with the Sussexes wherever they want to be. None of it is Meghan’s fault. It’s so patently obvious that the Sussex-hater-royalists project their own complicity and rotten guilt onto her in whatever way they can devise because they throughly suck as human beings and protect PDFiles. Why would they behave with any integrity – they don’t even know what that means.
Exactly. Plus, there would be all these headlines about whether she would visit him in prison, if she went to the states right now. Stay in the UK in the warm embrace of the Spencers.
The US is huge. Florida is thousands of miles from Montecito. And no one in the US is dragging her for her father’s crimes, like they are in the UK. Christmas in England can wait another year. The kids will enjoy it more when they’re older anyway.
So it would be tricky for Charles to call his daughter-in-law to offer his support because even a private conversation could be “misconstrued”? Misconstrued by whom and how? The royals are such trash. Btw, I agree with the idea that Harry should ask her if she wants to go home. Then pack them all up and leave because I’m sure the answer would be yes. There I go reading minds again! Sorry, not sorry. But the abuse has ramped up since they’re back in the UK, and it’s on overdrive since TM’s alleged crimes have come to light and his arrest.
The Sussex family relocated thousands of miles away from their home in sunny California. As we approach the often family-centered winter holidays, I think it’s at the point where it really stands out that Charles has little apparent interest in his youngest grandchildren — even at Christmas. It’s very convenient timing. The Sussex family won’t be included in Christmas dinner plans, they won’t be walking with the extended family to church or whatever, they won’t be dragooned into attending that ghastly Christmas concert, and there won’t be any pictures of Charles and his co-grandparent Doria together with their Sussex grandkids. It’s not because of Charles though, that these touching family moments won’t happen, it’s because Charles is supporting the investigation, and doesn’t want to risk any interactions that could possibly be misconstrued.
Very convenient timing. Now that the Sussexes are so near at hand, instead of headlines highlighting what an awful grandpa Charles is at Christmas, they’ll say how awful Meghan’s father is — while Charles is sacrificing the possibilities of a lovely holiday out of an abundance of caution, and his wish to support the legal process. This is such convenient timing that one might wonder if they had saved it up for just the right moment.
I think the Sussexes’ presence in the UK will keep pressure on the British to investigate what actually happened to the letter(s) that Loveless sent to all these entities (press and police). Once they leave, the pressure will be off. Similarly, in the US. Loveless likely sent letters to authorities stateside, as well. Those balls were dropped, as well.
“I think the Sussexes’ presence in the UK will keep pressure on the British to investigate what actually happened to the letter(s) that Loveless sent to all these entities (press and police).”
I tend to agree, it also blunts the second prong of moving the story into MAGA circles; two US lawmakers have suggested Bad Dad get the death penalty. Those salvos have weaker legs in the US news cycle with Meghan in Europe.
The Met knew. The BM knew. The palaces knew. It would be a headache off the the BM and the BRF’s plate to shunt it all into a US based story. I don’t think they will wriggle out of this especially with the other high profile predators in UK getting outed after years of being protected by “the powers that be” and Prince Andrew sitting there.
I know Meghan is an incredibly strong woman yet having to endure this endless, vitriolic bullying whilst living in a country where she’s fairly isolated from her mother and core group of friends must be torture. Even Harry looked stressed in Brussels, he put on a good performance yet his eyes told the true story.
The UK royal content creators on YouTube have gone feral with their attacks in putting the blame on Meghan and ramping up the hate, Sykes was so caught up in the frenzy he allowed Bower to have free reign and spout defamatory nonsense which has resulted in the videos being removed from Sykes’ channel.
We’ve been told that Meghan doesn’t pay attention to the “noise” but the Sussexes definitely have staff who do monitor that stuff. I honestly don’t think staying in the UK is healthy for the Sussexes, especially Meghan. Seeing the videos and pictures from her appearance in Brussels was a dreadful reminder of how she looked back in 2019.
The print press is bad. The YouTube stuff is HORRIBLE.
The trouble with the Meghan and Harry should return to the US argument is that it assumes the attacks will decrease in intensity.
They won’t. The attacks will continue to be just as ferocious.
If M&H have chosen to live in the UK, for reasons best known to themselves, this Thomas Markle scandal is definitely no reason for them to relocate to the US. Doria can come to visit, and they have (Spencer) family and friends in the UK too.
This is a repeat of what have been said in the past two weeks. Most arguments don’t need a source as we all know she has friends, counts on her family, love her children… Maybe I don’t understand how it work, but anonymous sources and insiders have no credibility as far as I am concerned.
The intro was more insightful than the platitudes provided by People.
The suggestion that Ms. Ragland was shown photographs and identified Thomas Snr has NOT been corroborated by anyone. ONE British tabloid claimed that she had, based on a filing that “Witness 3” had been shown a redacted photograph in which only Thomas Snr had been seen and that this witness had identified him. That tabloid reporter falsely claimed that Witness 3 was Ms. Ragland. The British media then ran with that assumption in their ungodly haste to drag Meghan’s mother into a story in which they had already been lambasting her daughter.
It’s interesting how People rag regularly platforms the Waleses on their front pages to blow smoke up their arses and cement negative narratives against the Sussexes and all of a sudden they move to put Meghan on the front page of their papers with quotes from “friends” (which I doubt) saying things anyone could have come up with – because it suits their sole purpose of tying M to that man’s crimes before a massive audience. They are not even subtle about it. Racism at its finest.
Thank you for pointing this out. So there is no confirmation this is Doria? There is very little actual information about what he is being charged with and what time period this covers.
In the press release the “witness” who id’d Tom Sr was unnamed.
Also, just because a member of the public wants all the deets on an active case doesn’t mean they’re entitled to them. If you’d like to know elements required to successfully prosecute a federal CSAM case, you’ll need to get that info elsewhere, cuz I don’t know.
For now hope this press release will satisfy your desire for information:
https://www.justice.gov/usao-cdca/pr/thomas-wayne-markle-arrested-federal-complaint-charging-him-possessing-sexually
The way the article quoted treats palace communications with an actual abuser (Randy Andy) as the same sensitivity as palace communications with the spouse of a child of an abuser (Harry), like those are AT ALL similarly sensitive as a PR matter, makes my blood boil.
I think a lot of us are just genuinely worried and concerned about Meghan and want all of this to stop. They are so hell bent on destroying her and her family that care about her are collateral damage. I hope this case is quickly resolved, Markle convicted and locked away. Agree that they’re just using her and trying to tie her to this man she has obviously distanced herself from for years. There are people still defending him and blaming her. This article isn’t necessary and has no new developments from a legal perspective.
Seward said of Charles contacting H&M: “I am sure he will. Any father would do that.”
Charles is NOT a father — at least not a decent father in any sense I understand.
As for Meghan wanting her mother, I am 100% sure that’s true. I wish this whole England experiment could be over so Meghan can return to the safety of her mother and Montecito. (When I lived in England, I missed my mother horribly and longed to just have tea with her — and I wasn’t dealing with anything like what Meghan is dealing with.)
I swear, if I had their money I would hang out at my private grand estate gardening, cooking, making crafts, swimming in my pool, having parties with my friends and family. Occasionally I’d go out for coffee, to book stores, the farmer’s market, for fabric and thrift shopping, and concerts. Otherwise, no one would ever see me again. You don’t have to think that Megan Markle is a perfect, supreme human being to see that this woman does not deserve the absolute shit terrible people have put her through. I hope she is finding bright spots of peace and joy in the midst of this.
I have to believe that Meghan is RELIEVED that her father has finally been stopped. She has known about his crimes since 2019, after all.
Knowing some details, such as the FBI document’s photo descriptions, is devastating. I feel horrible for the victims and I’m not related at all.
Also devastating : the hate from the BM and again no support from the palaces.
I’m about the same age as Doria. I know she loves her work and her friends in LA but her priorities have shifted. If I were her I would take retirement and move in with her daughter (Meghan) and family in the UK (or a guesthouse). They need you Doria!
