Doria behaved and dressed impeccably.

So where was she when Meghan was growing up? Her father and his family raised her. Felons know how and when to dress up for the parole board.

Look, I believe in reconciliation where a person has obviously made the effort to self-correct, and she obviously did by getting an education and finding legitimate employment in a very expensive area to live in.

Doria could have worn a full African get-up and outrageous dreads to the wedding, like that British-born black woman who recently wore such a look-at-me outfit to a royal tea reception and got a Lady-in-Waiting fired for innocently asking what part of Africa she was from; and Doria could have exuded all kinds of attitude to make the wypeepo feel very uncomfortable—but she didn't. Her outfit and manners were tasteful, better than Oprah's. Like I said, credit where it is due.

Doria was a felon and was out of Meghan’s life for over 10 years. She keeps a low profile so people won’t scrutinize her past. The royals were very kind to her. They all had to know her past but treated her respectfully.

Meghan was just using her mother as her “see I am half black card”. It was her father’s side that raised her.
