Equally one can say that Doria's appearances in the press is her contacting the news site. Team Meghan calling the press, take a picture of my Mom, she's from humble upbringing, doing the laundry.

Reverse Social Engineering Poor versus Rich attack should not be happening.

Double post auto-merged: February 09, 2018, 01:56:59 PM

I will further address, since Doria was okay with being a social worker for her entire life should not make it a bad for the next person who has ambition of forming a company (making it a success and getting rich, all this before a Prince turned up in their lives).

Kritter · February 09, 2018, 03:57:00 PM

No I am talking about the British press that is based in the UK.

wannable · February 09, 2018, 03:59:25 PM

You missed the notes that they all went to lunch after mass at Sandringham. No the press in the UK (as per usual) did their second article follow-up. :nod: :lol:

( :happy17: When the public does not like what an individual has done, but the same public is a fan of another individual that did and worst what they allegedly dislike, said public is carrying out a foot in mouth situation. )

The press is interested when Doria does her laundry, you know that will generate clicks and comments of why doesn't she have a washing machine. Walking the dog or going to the building where she works won't do the press the desired result.

QuoteRobert Lacey, royal historian and consultant to the upcoming Netflix series The Crown, says of having Carole in the front seat, ?This clearly shows that the Queen is signaling her pleasure about the arrival in the royal family of humble origins.

?We have the grandest monarchy in the world embracing right into its heart a family of humble origins,? Lacey tells PEOPLE. ?Next year is the centenary of when the royal family gave up its aristocratic name for the plainer name of Windsor ? and that set the tone for what?s happened ever since. It is one reason why the British monarchy thrives and flourishes.

?It has always been the family?s strength to adapt to changing times.?

IMHO it is a positive signal that QEII has been welcoming her royal in-laws more frequently ie: Inviting Sophie's widowed father Christopher to join the family at Sandringham. I do believe that in the future we'll see Doria and Thomas welcomed at her private estates and I believe that Charles will likely do the same. :thumbsup:

wannable · February 10, 2018, 03:25:16 AM

As I said, there s nothing wrong if Doria is not a ambitious business woman type. Part and simple explanation of what the press may find the public to click a Doria article, going to the laundromat.

The Middleton trust fund is correct, as also the stories of who Carole is and how she formed her company. There is interest, also she is the only grandmother of the future future future King. She will be followed forever.

Like Kate's life and family scrutinized, Meghan is also being scrutinized, although the later conceded to speak in an interview before engagement, hence the leaking to the press fandom belief.

wannable · February 10, 2018, 01:50:18 PM

Again the mother lives in LA and the father in Rosarito, theres a massive difference not being in England. Take also into consideration both parents need a trusty to be able to travel, as they are in a bankruptcy list for 10 years from date of declaration.

So another complaint is Carole moved to a bigger abode which affords more privacy, hence there's a problem of being ambitious.

The press will never leave Carole in the background, she's the only grandmother of the future future future King George.

:goodpost:

Meghan's siblings are a ready made and eager supply of stories for the tabloids. They're unfortunately a gift that keeps on giving. :wacko: The tabloid press doesn't really need Doria when they already have Samantha and Thomas Jr along with ex-in-laws, nephews, and former friends. This also keeps them from having to buy photos from the LA based paparazzi.

Yes the family of the future King George are always going to be of greater interest over the in-laws of Prince Edward IMHO. The MiddletonsMatthew's are in the UK so it's easy and cheaper to place photographers outside their homes or places of business. :shrug:

A little information about the Didi Hirsch center. (They have many locations in SoCal, but Culver City would be closer to Doria's home.) :)

Didi Hirsch

QuoteDidi Hirsch transforms lives by providing quality mental health and substance abuse services in communities where stigma or poverty limit access.

QuoteWellness Centers

Wellness Centers at the Culver City and Inglewood sites offer classes, groups and projects that foster physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing. Members regain old skills and develop new ones, breaking down the barriers that have isolated them from the community.

QuoteWhat is there to worry about? If it worked or not, she's a great host for incoming visitors, the contrary can't be said. or in your opinion what is the middle ground of treatment to incoming guest? instead of linen bedsheets, bring it down to what 200 thread bedsheets? instead of cheese toast sandwich, feed him with?

Sounds like Carole is a good hostess who likes to make guests feel welcome. :)

Who Is Meghan Markle's Mom? | POPSUGAR Celebrity

QuoteShe's an LA lady. Doria met her now-ex-husband in Los Angeles in the 1970s, had Meghan in the same city, raised her in The Valley area, and to this day she still lives in LA. Doria herself was raised in LA, and according to her Facebook she attended Fairfax High School, before eventually getting a Master's from the University of Southern California. She currently resides in LA and has proved that she will always be an LA baby, because she's never left!

Wonder where she did her undergrad work?

QuoteHer ancestors were slaves

Ragland's great-great-great-great grandfather worked in the Deep South plantations and was freed after the Abolition in 1865. He then chose a new name to mark his emancipation, calling himself Wisdom.

[gmod]Thread is now re-opened. Whilst it is inevitable that comparisons will be made about Doria and Carole - I ask you all to keep on topic - Doria. And certainly not about each other. SCx[/gmod]

Meghan Markle's mother Doria spotted hiking in LA | Daily Mail Online

QuoteMeghan Markle is no doubt eager to be in great shape for her upcoming wedding at it seems the mother-of-the bride is also keeping her figure in check for the big day.

The yoga instructor, 61, took her dog along as she joined her a friend for a hike in the LA hills, wearing grey leggings and a sports bra.

Boasting a figure a woman half her age would be proud of, the wellness counsellor who works for an Los Angeles-based organization specialising in treating substance abuse, was an advertisement for the toning benefits of yoga practice.

They can't get anything but BS out of Tom Sr.'s children & so now the press has decided to stalk Doria.

Trudie · February 15, 2018, 02:31:41 AM

Whats so pathetic is they had to follow her to Target I'm surprised they didn't take pictures of her picking up what she was buying off the shelf and give us a running commentary.

TLLK · February 15, 2018, 04:11:58 PM

@Trudie-I would like to see that Doria is going to be left alone but unfortunately the tabloids' interest is likely to continue for years. I also hope that she owns a shredder so they can't dig through her trash for anything. :no:

Kritter · February 15, 2018, 04:15:13 PM

They are watching closely to know when she leaves for the UK.

wannable · February 15, 2018, 06:00:34 PM

She is aware of the paparazzi, I doubt she minds at all, 60 plus woman walking her dog in a sports bra, stomach flab in view, paparazzi proceeds to walk with her and the friend, frontal viewing of putting her shirt, enters Target, paparazzi waiting for her last picture taking.

She doesn't look great. I doubt she's doing much yoga.

Kritter · February 15, 2018, 06:19:34 PM

You aren't looking at the same 60 year old woman I see. A 60 year old body doesn't resemble a 20 year old unless all the person does is diet & exercise to the detriment of everything else in their life.

wannable · February 16, 2018, 12:36:48 AM

Of course she knew the paparazzi was there, hence she went out in a sports bra. Thinking she would look good. What was she thinking? Then later proceeded to open the boot of her car, grabbed the shirt, rather than changing there, walked to the pavement, stood face forward in front of the paparazzi for her picture taking.

Kritter · February 16, 2018, 01:58:41 AM

She did not know they were there until she left the house. I am glad she is comfortable enough in her own skin to know she doesn't need to leave the house perfectly coiffed.

wannable · February 16, 2018, 11:24:33 AM

Woman goes out half naked knowing the paparazzi will always be there for the money shots, knowing she is a person of interest because of her daughter.

She purposely put on her shirt frontal towards the paparazzi, rather than in front of the boot of her car when she went to fetch the shirt. Camera hungry like daughter? Maybe. A frontal picture is more worthy than a side picture.

Trudie · February 16, 2018, 01:15:51 PM

You seem to have a rather low opinion of Doria Wannable. Doria wasn't exactly shopping Rodeo Drive dressed to impress she was in her quiet neighborhood going about her business. Perhaps she wasn't putting her shirt in front of the paparazzi on purpose but her friend was talking to her while she was doing so.

wannable · February 16, 2018, 04:03:41 PM

@Trudie I will stick with my opinion, the paparazzi will be stalking her, and she should know better.

IF Doria did not know, now she does, go out decently dressed for whatever occasion; sports fine, where a shirt as she later did over the sports bra, and you will not end up as fodder to the press.

wannable · February 16, 2018, 04:24:05 PM

In your theory of Calling...
Or not calling, but certainly a person of interest - hence followed by paparazzi who will sell the story with the pics, just for the fact that She is the Mother of the Daughter who is married to a Prince, She will Never Go Out in a Sports Bra. :D

Trudie · February 16, 2018, 06:53:08 PM

Well Wannable dressed as she was for a hike and exercise is normal attire in LA and don't tell me you have never seen pictures of celebrities jogging and exercising dressed in that manner.

Who is Doria Radlan? Meghan Markle's mother revealed | Daily Mail Online

QuoteRoyal-obsessed social media users can?t get enough of Meghan Markle?s mom Doria Radlan.

Following the announcement that the Suits actress planned to marry Prince Harry, the conversation on Twitter turned quickly to the people who raised Meghan. Fans were especially excited to learn that Meghan?s mother is black, making the 36-year-old one of the first black or bi-racial women to enter the royal family.

?This is Doria Radlan, aka Mama Meghan Markle. The British monarchy ain?t ready,? one tweeter wrote, adding the hashtag ?#BlackWithoutApology?.

?To Meghan Markle?s mom, Doria Radlan: You literally raised a princess. Your hard work of raising a mixed-race Black girl and teaching her self-love in a white dominant world does not go unnoticed,? another said. 'You are a hero.'
