Meghan Markle’s mother Doria Ragland has received a public apology from Britain after the journalist made false claims about her.
Royal expert Carole Malone has apologized on air Monday after alleging earlier this month that the Duchess father, Thomas Markle, “brought her up while her mother was in jail.”
As per the Us Weekly, Malone said, “On Thursday, December the 4th, 2025, I stated that Thomas Markle, the Duchess of Sussex’s father, brought Meghan up while her mother, Doria Ragland, was in prison.”
She further said, “I believed this to be the case based on what I now understand to be misinformation I had seen online.
“I was questioned about the validity of this claim during the broadcast and I repeated this belief, which I now understand to be false.”
Malone continued, “This was a genuine error. I accept what I have been told on behalf of Ms. Ragland — that she raised her daughter and that she has never been in prison or jail. I apologize sincerely to Ms. Ragland and her family for any pain my comments may have caused.”
The public apology to Meghan’s mom comes days after the duchess spokesperson confirmed that she was able to deliver a letter to her father Thomas Markle after trying to reach out to him amid his hospitalization after major surgery.
