Angry Meghan Markle’s Outburst: Mom’s Unexpected Gift After Lilibet’s Birth
Meghan Markle, amidst the flurry of gifts following the birth of her daughter Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, found herself in a surprising situation with her mother, Doria Ragland.
Despite the couple's plea for well-wishers to support women charities instead of sending presents, gifts continued to pour in, including from Prince William and Kate.
However, it was Meghan's mother, Doria Ragland, who stood out by offering a unique and invaluable present to the new parents.
Reports have surfaced that Doria Ragland has been residing with Harry and Meghan at their Montecito, California home to lend a hand with parenting responsibilities.
Among the various gifts received from friends and family, Doria's most cherished contribution has been her time and hands-on assistance.
Meghan expressed immense gratitude for her mother's unwavering support, while Harry adored having her around.
While Prince William and Kate also extended their generosity to the Sussexes, the specifics of their gifts remain undisclosed.
In a statement on the Archule website, Prince Harry and Meghan reiterated their preference for charitable donations over material gifts.
They urged supporters to redirect their generosity towards organizations dedicated to empowering women and girls during their parental leave.
Breaking away from royal norms, Prince Harry and Meghan are set to take a substantial 20-week parental leave following the birth of Lilibet.
This decision diverges from past practices where royal fathers swiftly resumed duties post-childbirth.
Notably, Prince Harry's return to engagements just days after Archie's birth contrasts with his current extended leave.
Meanwhile, Kate Middleton opted for a more extended break of seven months across her three children's births.
Looking ahead, Prince Harry's return to official duties looms, particularly with the upcoming unveiling of Princess Diana's statue at Kensington Palace on July 1.
The highly anticipated event marks a significant moment for the royal family as the brothers jointly commissioned the statue.
Amidst these developments, Prince Harry and Meghan appear to be delaying the release of their much-anticipated memoir out of concern for potential repercussions on their relationship with the royal family.
Biographer Angela Levin suggested that recent events, including the Jubilee celebrations, may have prompted Prince Harry to reconsider the tone and content of his forthcoming book.
With tensions lingering between the Sussexes and the royal household, any further revelations deemed unfavorable could strain already fragile relations.
The uncertainty surrounding the memoir's release reflects the evolving dynamics within the royal family and the delicate balance the couple must navigate between their past and present affiliations.
