The Pretend Holiday Invitation

[Blind Gossip] What better way to celebrate the holiday season than to pretend that your new family cares about your old family!

Someone associated with this actress put out a story that her “new” family invited her favorite relative to spend the holidays with them… but that her relative declined the invitation.

No.

The story was a completely fabrication. There was never an invitation. There are many other in laws and such much more important to the family and they have never been invited. The [new family] does not know from where this story originates. They have quietly let other distant relatives know that the story was untrue to avoid hurt feelings. However, they can not publicly refute it as it would make them look unwelcoming.

That makes sense. Besides, if an invitation was actually extended, there is a 100% chance that it would have been accepted.

Was someone is trying to spin the family holiday to make themselves look important and special?

    Meghan Markle and her mom Doris.
    Not a smart move on Meghan’s part to put out an untruth like that but there may be one or even several reasons behind it: 1. She really wanted her mom to be there and thought by putting the statement out, the RF would then have to invite Doria for real to save face 2. To explain why Doria was not at pregnant Meg’s side for Xmas 3. To boost her own profile within the RF by boosting her mom’s.
    MM should stop though while she’s ahead.

  2. Nataliexyz says

    I agree w/ @Nchaniago — the story of *why* the mom got an invite is bizarre & not even slightly believable. Was she trying to (a) get a jab in at her estranged family, i.e., mom acted appropriately & she could go to Christmas if she wants & you never will or (b) just put out a story the Royals an enamored w/ her mom? Rachel Meghan Markle . . . time to start repeating this to yourself: “I’m not in Kansas (Hollywood) any more.”

  3. GayleStorm says

    Geez…it’s beginning to look like Meagain has some serious mental problems. What a psycho! Great job, Harry.
    If I was Kate, I would be staying as far away from her as possible.

  4. amagod121 says

    Meagan Markle pretending that Doris was invited to the royal family Christmas (shades of Hyacinth Bucket.)

    Optional: Not too smart, IMHO. Royal family will now be wary/leery of her. Why p!$$ off your entire new family in one go round, especially with the balance of power in their favor?

  5. CanaryCry says

    Another vote for Sarah Ferguson 2.0 aka Meghan Markle, who was supposedly dragging the Windsors kicking & screaming into the shiny new millennium. They’re not having that – I wouldn’t doubt even Diana would’ve been fed up with her by now.

  6. Squirrelnutkin says

    Oh my! Meghan strikes again!

    How does this whole thing keep getting worse? I’m sure she’s behind it. Maybe her friend (only friend?) Jessica Mulroney? I think it’s a terrible idea. How would she have possibly thought this would buy her favor with anyone? Clearly the RF would know this is coming from her and will distance from her even more… I’ve got my popcorn out to see what happens next!

  8. hbb2699 says

    Megan Markle and her mom, Doria Ragland. Of course this rumor came from Megan herself! Don’t get why so many people buy her BS innocent act.

    Actress: Megan ‘I’m a Somebody now’ Markle

    [Optional] Was that a smart or stupid rumor for her to put out there? Why? Dumb, Dumb, Dumb….the hole she is digging keeps getting bigger and bigger…what a mess!

  11. Nchaniago says

    “A royal source told Vanity Fair that Ms Ragland turned down the offer earlier this week after it was issued because the Queen was so “impressed” with the single mother’s behaviour at the Duke an Duchess of Sussex’s royal wedding in May.”

    Lol what a joke

    • marykatez says

      Wow…the lies this woman produces. I can’t stand her and I know she’s a total phony, but this divorce is going to be better than any tv show ever created!

  14. aaaelkm says

    Meghan Markle.
    Her mother was apparently invited to join the royal family for Christmas, and declined.
    She likes to think she’s changing the BRF and that she’s special enough to do so.

  17. MsGossip says

    Actress: Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex. Tons of stories out there about ber Mom declining the Queen’s invitation.

  22. aaaDeli says

    Actress: Meghan Markle
    False invitation to her mother
    So stupid. False PR is not how the BRF works. Stop it or you will sink on the bad ship you built yourself.

  23. loopylou600 says

    Actress: Meghan Markle

    [Optional] Was that a smart or stupid rumor for her to put out there? Why? It beggars belief and so outstandingly stupid. No other in-laws have ever been invited previously. If ‘any’ invite was ever extended to in-laws, it would be to the Duchess of Cambridge’s family because she is a future Queen. It will never happen in the current Queen’s reign.

  24. luv2guess says

    meghan markle-rumored her mom was invited but declined…maybe being a royal is less than you expected…

  27. aaaSarri says

    Meghan Markle

    This woman should have never been allowed to marry Harry. She will be worse than Fergie and Diana combined (after the divorce).

  28. purplefluffybunny says

    Megan Markle

    If she did (and that’s a big if) then it was very silly. But also shows that maybe she’s a little lonely.

  34. Simpatico says

    More of Markle’s reindeer games. A stupid rumor; the way she has played everyone has been shockingly short-sighted and not the least bit smart. She’s as obvious as they come. Harry will eventually grow some, but not for several years, when they’re kaput.

  39. violetandsnoopy says

    Megs Sussex
    Relative: Her Mother
    Well, it is the Winter Solstice, and she’s trying to please her Wiccan Mother (so she won’t growl at Harry).

  40. Dahl says

    Meghan Markle? There were reports that her mother was invited to Sandringham, but is now staying in L.A. for the holidays.

  41. Searlait says

    Meghan Markle
    Optional: Of course it was stupid. She behaves like she is in Hollywood with the ridiculous PR games she plays. She’s too old to be acting this way. I wonder how long Harry is going to put up with her lies and fake PR stories.

  44. Wallcat says

    Actress: Meghan Markle.
    It was suggested that her Mother was invited to spend Christmas with the Royal family but turned down the invitation.

    Optional: she might think she’s being smart, with the intent of looking like she’s integrating well, or to prompt an actual invitation. Playing the press using / against the Royal family is walking the tightrope if you ask me.

  46. Mumumumu says

    Sounds like Meghan Markle inviting her Mom. Can you blame her?

    She wants to spend Christmas with her Mother, I don’t understand the hate she gets for that. And it’s cruel that Meghan, an only child, has to watch her Mother spending Christmas all alone because the royal family has all those stupid rules in place.

    Get out of there Meghan!

    • Catharsis says

      She knew the Christmas protocol before she married in. If we all know it, you think she didn’t? No sympathy for this manipulative, calculating brat.

  52. 4sixx2 says

    Megan Markle and mom Doria. Egan is quickly on her way on the outs. She’s going to make Sarah Ferguson look like an Angel!

  53. kikiie says

    Sparkles and her mother Doria. She really has to stop using her friends to generate PR for her. This will backfire on her so badly if she doesn’t start falling into line and stops getting people to leak stories in her favour. The Royals and certainly the people who work for them are not stupid. The only one who is stupid is Meghan if she thinks she can fight the royal firm. It must have been a shock to her when she realised she was an inconsequential royal

  54. breadpitt says

    Actress: Meghan Markle

    [Optional] Pretty silly if you ask me cause everyone seems to think the Royals doesn’t really care about her so putting such news seems desperate

  55. MinnieMe says

    Markle, Markle, Markle. Way too much about her, the gold digger.
    Yeah, let her sweat a bit. They will tell the truth about her.

  60. 4girls4 says

    Meghan Markle
    Stupid,stupid,stupid. She is beginning to trip over her lies and it won’t be long befor hubby ‘s Grandmother has had enough. Her celeb friends will stop returning calls when they see she is on the Naughty List.

    • zappy2050 says

      If she keeps this up – she’s going to have an “accident”

      It is a pity too because she could do so much good if she humbled herself and really devoted herself to 1/2 key causes to better others – not just thinking of herself.

      Now we know why the Queen traveled with her so early – she wanted to see if what people were saying (that Meghan was crafty and sly) was true. She found out it was.

      I feel so sorry for Harry – he finally finds someone and she is this.

  62. heartcouture says

    Meghan Markel. Smart. People are getting turned off because she is shunning her ill father now that she’s married to royalty. This makes her look like a good person, but I’m not falling for it.

  63. cocowowo says

    Imelda. Cough, I mean Meghan Markle. Gosh she’s as deep as a puddle.

    It’s stupid. I had so much hope for her, it’s all gone.

    • carriebradshaw says

      I’m also totalmy didsapointted, on everything in this woman, not only her behaviour, but also weirf and inapprotiate fashion choices.

  64. aaagpig says

    Meghan Markle. It was a stupid rumour to put out as it only drew attention to the fact her mother had not been invited.

    • firefly nights says

      It was an incredibly dumb rumor but I’m not 100% sure it came from her. Maybe from someone in her team who thought it would be a good idea? Idk. The entire thing is bizarre.

  67. hazura jane says

    Meghan Markle’s mother, Doria Ragland, who was reported to have declined an invitation to join the RF at Sandringham.

  69. TNSunny says

    Meghan Markle . Stupid to put out the rumor because it creates new problems for the royal family. At some point she’s going to become more trouble than she’s worth and they will boot her.

  70. aaaPanda says

    Maybe Meghan Markle. If it was her who launched the rumour she is bordering on total stupidity. In the long term, the Family has more power and reach than she does, she’d do well to stop angering them. Her constant schemes aren’t even really for noble motives – if she was trying to turn the UK into a Republic, or did this to benefit the disadvantaged it would be tolerable. This is all just about herself – the mind boggles as to why Harry was so blind sided.

  74. gailpow says

    Actress: Meghan Markle.
    I guess her mom, Doria, didn’t really get a Xmas invite from The Queen, after all.
    Looks like Yoga Mom will be staying put in L.A….teaching yoga.

    • luvprue1 says

      It would be awesome if she really loved in L.A. But Megan’s mom moved to England at Megan’s request.

  75. figossip says

    Meghan Markle

    Not that smart considering the true will always come out. The royal family will lose all trust in her if she keeps this up.

  80. dadiegirl says

    Meghan and her mom Doria. Who knows? But I do agree that she would have never turned it down. There’s been nothing but drama since MM showed up on the scene!

  83. Taytay25 says

    Meghan Markle

    It was stupid to put that rumor out. Her mom spending Christmas with the Royal Family was never going to happen and everyone knew it.

  85. upjess says

    Meghan Markle and her mother apparently ‘snubbing’ The Queen.

    I feel for Meghan in some ways. Its hard for an American to really comprehend how snobby and elitist and cut off our upper classes are in the UK. If she knew at the time she wouldnt even be able to spend Christmas with her mother, perhaps she would’ve had second thoughts. Hard to leave the Firm once you’re in

    • Steffy44 says

      Oh I think most understand but this social climber didn’t care. It was all about landing dimwit harry and getting pregnant as fast as possible. Notice no due month for baby…just spring. Makes passing it off as “we weren’t pregnant when we got married” much easier. Harry looks miserable all the time anymore. Crazy sister was right all along.

  86. KCeagle says

    Meghan Markle ?
    Unless it’s her mom.. everybody else in her family makes her look bad.. and by association the royal family. It’s getting rather sordid and Shakespearean 🙄

  88. Bobscole says

    Meghan Markle
    Rumor was that her mother declined an invite to spend Christmas with Meghan and the Royal family.

  90. viksville77 says

    Meghan Markle & Doria, knew it was rubbish as soon as it was reported. Never happen in a million years, all put out by MM pr & apparently HM had no idea she had done it!

  91. Jelly Drop says

    Meaghan Markle – story was mum was invited to join for Christmas.
    Really, that is not the worst story, even if fake. It makes the family seem inviting – for once. I do understand that tit for tat would mean Kate’s parents would have to come. I secretly believe the Queen sees them as the climbers they are and that’s why the inner circle stays as the inner circle. Maybe better to have a closed doors policy.

    • parkland45 says

      Didn’t William warn Harry about MM? & Harry got huffy about that? MM still hasn’t realized/accepted that she’s no longer in “Kansas” & things are different once one is a member of the royal family.

  93. anapetro says

    Markle. I read something about her mother being the first non-royal to be invited for the christmas reunion

  95. JBDinCA says

    Meghan Markle

    Her mother Doria Ragland supposedly was invited by royal family to spend Christmas with them.

  97. Gossiplover28 says

    Meghan Markle and her mum being invited to spend Christmas with the Royal Family.

    Stupid – It was never going to happen!

  98. extra paws says

    this must be Meghan Markle’s mother, Doria Ragland, not spending xmas with the royals. It seems unchristmas-like to omit a singleton from family festivities, however, historically with the royals, non-family people are never invited to the queen’s xmas. I believe the queen is doing her best to hang on to her traditions because once she is gone, the traditions will change.

    • aaaSeeK says

      I think that Charles and eventually William will keep many of the traditions exactly as they are. The Queen didn’t create most of them either…

  101. chicxie says

    Meghan Markle about her mum Doria.

    Not the cleverest move but she certainly likes people talking about her regardless of whether it’s bad or good it seems.

  102. Nataliexyz says

    Pretending Meghan Markle’s mom, Doria Ragland, was invited to the Windsor Christmas. As if.

    All rumors put out by Meghan are ridiculous and she needs to just stop. I don’t feel this “fairy tale romance” is going to end well.

  104. CherryBomb27 says

    Meghan Markle and her Mother, Doria. I think Meghan wants her mother there and by putting the story out there she would have been forcing the Royals hand. Unfortunately for her, it hasn’t worked. Meghan needs to start realising what she’s married into and that Elizabeth dictates Christmas.

    • OhYeah says

      Yes, this! 👆👆I also think MM thought she could force an invitation for her mom with this rumor. She really seems to think she’s above the rest of the family when it comes to following rules and traditions

  106. amesr09 says

    meghan markle abt her mom dorinda being invited to be with them for christmas. it was dumb of her to put it out there like that.

  107. KikiWinter says

    Actress: Meghan Markle
    Story about her mother being invited and declining it

    Optional: Probably smart, so many people have her painted as a cold person who cut off her entire family in favour of royal status, so at least by pretending her mom was invited she doesn’t look entirely ruthless.
