Meghan Markle is turning to her mom, Doria Ragland, for support after her estranged father, Thomas Markle Sr. was arrested at an assisted living facility in Lakeland, Florida.
Even though Meghan's in the UK and Doria's in Los Angeles, they're staying closely connected as Meghan deals with the stress around her dad's legal troubles.
Thomas Markle Sr re-arrested for violations
Thomas, 82, was first arrested on November 6 when authorities found suspicious materials in storage units he rented.
After being released with strict conditions, he was re-arrested on November 10 for breaking those rules.
Doria has been helping investigators by confirming his identity in photos.
Through all this, Meghan is focused on her kids' safety and looking forward to having her mom visit for Christmas to help keep things steady.
