Meghan Markle’s Mother Spotted Amid Split Rumors

In a surprising turn of events, Doria Ragland, mother of Meghan Markle, has been seen out and about for the first time since speculation regarding her daughter's marriage to Prince Harry began swirling.

On Friday, she was photographed attending an art exhibition in Beverly Hills, enjoying the company of a friend as they explored the works of artist Honor Titus.

According to reports from The Daily Express, Doria not only took in the art show but also dined at Eel for Nile restaurant afterward.

This outing comes on the heels of rumors suggesting that tensions have escalated between Meghan and Harry, particularly following a disagreement sparked by Princess Catherine's recent stunning appearance.

Sources close to the situation revealed that the trouble began when Doria showed Harry a picture of Catherine in a glamorous golden dress.

Meghan, who was seated nearby, couldn't help but react.

She got up to see what had caught their attention and upon seeing Catherine's dazzling look, her response was anything but calm.

Witnesses say she stormed out onto the veranda, leading to a significant argument with Harry.

The tension reportedly stems from Meghan's feelings of jealousy over Catherine's viral moment.

Just weeks later, in an apparent attempt to steal some of the spotlight, Meghan donned a striking red gown at a veterans' dinner.

Critics were quick to point out that the choice was not only ill-fitting but also completely inappropriate for the occasion.

In a bid to mirror Catherine's success, Meghan later wore a gold dress by designer Joanna Ortiz during the Women of Vision Awards in Midtown Manhattan on May 16.

This event marked her first major public appearance following the release of Harry's explosive memoir, Spare, and their Netflix series.

Meghan accessorized her outfit with metallic stiletto sandals from Tom Ford and a chic clutch bag from Carolina Herrera.

Yet, fashion critics were unimpressed, noting that her dress lacked the grandeur of Catherine's iconic look from the James Bond premiere.

Many described it as basic and out of season, likening its design to something more suitable for a vintage nightclub than a high-profile awards ceremony.

Social media buzzed with commentary, with some users mocking Meghan for her choice, suggesting that she resembled a “gold digger” flaunting her wealth.

The irony of wearing gold while being labeled as such didn't go unnoticed, with many questioning her judgment in stepping out in such a controversial outfit.

Critics have been vocal about Meghan's perceived jealousy of Catherine, arguing that her attitude detracts from her appeal.

If only she could embrace a different persona, they argue, perhaps she would enjoy similar popularity.

Unfortunately, it seems that greed and negativity have overshadowed any chance for a more favorable public image.

In contrast, Catherine has cultivated positive relationships with several designers, including Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen, who designed her wedding dress.

Their ongoing collaboration speaks volumes about Catherine's reputation in the fashion world, which stands in stark contrast to Meghan's struggles.

Catherine consistently dazzles in her outfits, effortlessly making even the simplest garments look exquisite.

Meanwhile, Meghan's attempts to wear high-end fashion often fall flat, leaving many to wonder why designers would want to associate their brands with her.

As the public continues to scrutinize the dynamics of these two duchesses, it becomes increasingly clear that their contrasting approaches to style and public perception are at the heart of the ongoing narrative.

With each new appearance and outfit, the comparisons are bound to keep coming, fueling the fire of speculation surrounding Meghan and Harry's relationship.
