The royal mother-in-law Doria Ragland, 63 years old, mother of Meghan Markle, e Carole Middleton, 65, mother of Kate, could not seem, on paper, planets more distant. And instead, besides being both the first point of reference of the daughters married with the royal brothers most famous in the world, Harry e William, they have a lot in common. And they happened to be back almost simultaneously, albeit for very different reasons, on the front pages of the gossip newspapers. Doria has just moved to the luxury Sussex mansion in the Beverly Hills (to help them take care of the baby Archie). Carole ended up in the crosshairs of an article in the prestigious British magazine Tatler (later sued by William and Kate) who pointed the finger at the Duchess of Camdridge and her parents, a former flight attendant and a pilot who became millionaires thanks to the gadgets for the children’s parties, defining them «Arrivals, enriched and kitsch».
Doria and Carole, in some respects, are two completely different people. Ever since her daughter married William, Carole has never missed a Windsor family occasion, including baptisms, weddings and birthdays. She never wanted to get out of the shadows and and has always been considered the architect of the daughter’s “lucky” marriage: would enroll Kate at St. Andrews University, where William studied, with a specific purpose: take husband. And not just anybody. Doria, however, was seen only at the royal wedding of Harry and Meghan. IS he never planned his daughter’s future, leaving room for chance and allowing Meghan to become an actress. Carole has been happily married to Michael Middleton since 1980: the two last June 21st celebrated 40 years of marriage. Doria has separated from Thomas Makle, Meghan’s dad-snake, in 1987, after eight years of marriage. And she raised her daughter alone.
Two different planets, apparently. but yet the two royal mother-in-laws somehow look alike. Both bourgeois, they share the fact that their families ended up in the spotlight because of the relationships of their daughters, with whom they have a great feeling. Both then I’m sports fanatics: Carole is a great tennis fan (like Kate), while Doria, a tireless yoga instructor, took part in the Los Angeles marathon in 2019. Their style is different (see gallery above): boho-chic that of Doria, who also has a nose piercing; more classic e british that of mom Middleton. But both, similar to each other in this too, continue to influence the fashion choices of their daughters.
To share them there is also another detail of no small importance: both have great power over royal genres. This is demonstrated by the fact that Harry, ignoring the advice of friends who warned him of the “dangers” of living with his mother-in-law, welcomed her with open arms under his own roof. And perhaps those who consider Meghan’s mother as not wrong are not wrong «A silent but vigorous influence» behind the Sussex decision to say goodbye to the royal family. «Doria is like the queen: she never complains and never explains, “said an insider to the Daily Mail. «Meghan has always trusted her completely, and now she has become a rock for Harry. ‘ William, for his part, according to Tatler he would even be “obsessed with Carole. She is the mother who has always wanted ».
Furthermore, both the royal mother – in – laws conquered, albeit in different ways, the monopoly of grandchildren. Ever since Harry and Meghan moved to California, the only grandmother physically present in the life (and now also in the house) of little Archie has been Doria. While Carole has always been described as “the most loved and omnipresent grandmother”. Second Express UK the relationship between the relationship the prince Carlo and the firstborn would have been bad for years, precisely because William does not satisfy his father in his request for spend more time with your grandchildren George, Charlotte e Louis, “Taken” hostage “by Carole.” William himself “spends more time with his wife’s parents than with his family.” Apparently the bourgeois Doria and Carole, at least in family relationships, have been able to knock down the British crown.
