was not widely anticipated<\/a>, and it now appears Meghan\u2019s mother, Doria Ragland, warned her daughter to \u2018think very carefully\u2019 about relocating.<\/p>\n“Doria told Meghan to think very carefully before moving back,” a family source told Rob Shuter’s Naughty But Nice outlet.<\/p>\n
“She watched what Britain did to her daughter the first time. She saw the pressure, the criticism and the toll it took. She’s terrified history will repeat itself.”<\/p>\n
Doria, 70, is said to be very close with Meghan, 45, and a regular visitor at Montecito to see Archie, now aged seven, and Lilibet, five.<\/p>\n
While the couple have told insiders they are \u2018happy to be back\u2019, their move has not been completely smooth sailing. They were embroiled in a briefing row with King Charles III, after a letter he authorised said they should be considered \u2018private citizens\u2019 when conducting charitable engagements.<\/p>\n
Harry and Meghan reportedly prefer the term \u2018public figures\u2019. The couple have also had to change their children\u2019s school, after the family\u2019s security team deemed the countryside school run was too difficult to keep safe.<\/p>\n
They were also accused of \u2018hypocrisy\u2019 after Meghan shared a video of the family back in Britain. In a montage of phone-captured footage, the family are seen in the countryside out with their dog, and Harry on a boat in a pond fishing with the kids.<\/p>\n
It opens with Meghan and husband Harry hand in hand, with the Duchess turning towards the camera and playfully shouting \u2018come on, you\u2019.<\/p>\n
One touching clip appears to show Lilibet cycling with a doll in the baby bike seat as Archie runs past her, and it appears one of the youngsters is warming their feet by the fireplace in another. An Union Flag emoji and a heart emoji is overlaid over the selection of clips.<\/p>\n
But posting the video has been labelled as \u201chypocrisy\u201d by one Royal commentator, Kinsey Schofield: \u201cIf privacy is genuinely the priority, the most effective strategy is simple\u2026 stop broadcasting your family life to millions of strangers.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Meghan Markle\u2019s mum reportedly gave her daughter a three-word warning before the Duchess moved back to the UK…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":604173,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[297906,156,4866,111,139,69,297907,277917],"class_list":["post-604172","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-doria-ragland","tag-entertainment","tag-meghan-markle","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-privacy-controversy","tag-uk-return"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/604172","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=604172"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/604172\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/604173"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=604172"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=604172"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=604172"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
