According to the posts on "News Royals," Doria shared several similarities with Meghan, including a desire to find a wealthy Caucasian husband and aspirations to be part of the elite crowd. Doria, a makeup artist, reportedly tried to connect with Ed O'Neal, the star of "Married With Children," during her time working on the show's set. Doria met Thomas Markle on the set, leading to their marriage and the birth of their daughter, Meghan.
Doria convinced Thomas to set up a travel agency in his name, which she ran. The marriage faced challenges, leading to divorce after Thomas's lottery win dissipated, and Doria obtained sole custody of Meghan. Doria, who made good money at the time, took Meghan on many trips during her childhood.
However, a turning point came when Doria stopped paying taxes, hoping that Thomas would be blamed as the travel agency was in his name. The IRS caught up with her, resulting in a 15-year prison sentence, of which she served four years, thanks to a lawyer hired by Thomas. Thomas gained custody of Meghan, and there's a brief mention of a 10-year period where Doria wasn't present much in Meghan's life. The reasons for her absence remain undisclosed.
Reports suggest that Doria has moved in with Harry and Meghan, taking on a maternal role in their Montecito mansion in California. This development has sparked rumors of Meghan and Harry planning for a third child, indicating significant changes in their family dynamics in 2024. News sources reported on the potential arrival of a third child, despite Harry's previous statements about limiting their family size to address concerns about overpopulation.
