Doria Ragland, Meghan Markle’s mom has been trending on X, formerly Twitter, all day.

Why?

Well, she attended the 5th edition of a charity event called “This Is About Humanity” in Los Angeles last Sunday. Photos of the event showed her with Kris Jenner and Kim Kardashian. In them, Doria is beautiful, youthful, glowing, relaxed and happy.

Well, I guess that was too much for the British media. They’ve gone haywire in their criticism of the Duchess of Sussex’s mother. Criticizing her for using her relationship with the royals to schmooze with celebrities.

The facts are, that those same papers have been spreading rumors that Harry and Meghan are about to divorce, that Meghan is going through a deep depression, and that Harry is unhappy and has rented a hotel room to get away from his oppressive wife. None of this has been confirmed as true by the way.

The rumor mill has been running non-stop with fake news and misinformation. There is little doubt that the media were not at all expecting to see a radiant, smiling Doria Ragland at a charity event in Los Angeles living it up with the Kardashians.

I write about racism, but there are so many other things I would like to write about instead. Help me dismantle racism so that I can get to that.
