GB News presenter Carole Malone has issued a public apology after spreading misinformation about Meghan Markle’s mother, Doria Ragland.

Earlier this month, during a segment about the Duchess of Sussex’s father Thomas Markle, Carole falsely claimed that Meghan’s dad “brought her up” and “paid for her private education while her mother was in jail”.

Pressed on this by other panellists, the former Celebrity Big Brother housemate then wrongly insisted that Ragland was imprisoned “years ago”, despite this not being the case, and retorted: “Do you want me to give you a precise date and time?”
