Meghan Markle Speaking to Mother Often After Father's Arrest, HELLO! Reports
Meghan Markle's father was arrested last Friday on suspicion of possessing child abuse material, according to HELLO! magazine. Being arrested on suspicion means police have made an arrest but no court has ruled on the matter. The magazine reports that he has since appeared in a Florida court over the arrest.
The same report says Meghan is speaking to her mother, Doria Ragland, "a lot". Ragland has stayed in Los Angeles since Meghan returned to the UK in August. HELLO! describes her as "really supportive", and says Meghan is being supported by friends.
Meghan has been keeping busy, the magazine says. On Friday she met girlfriends for lunch outside London.
Her most recent public appearance, HELLO! reports, was on Tuesday. She went with her husband, Prince Harry, to the European Parliament in Brussels for the opening of the Lost Screen Memorial. She had been scheduled to speak at the event but withdrew. HELLO! reports she said she was "not strong enough" to deliver the speech.
Anyone who wants to follow the case can look to the court record in Florida, where the father's appearance took place. Court listings and public filings are the places where charges and next steps usually appear.
