Tom Bower, a royal author, revealed in his book "Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the War Between the Windsors" that Doria Ragland, Meghan Markle's mother, was never a licensed social worker.
In the book, Bower writes that Ragland received her MSW (Master of Social Work) degree from the University of Southern California in 2011.
However, she did not receive her LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) license until 2015. This means that for four years, she was practicing social work without a license.
Bower also writes that Ragland's name does not appear on the California Board of Social Workers' website, which means that she may not have ever been licensed to practice social work in California.
This revelation has led to some speculation about Ragland's qualifications as a social worker. Some people have questioned whether she was qualified to provide social work services without a license, while others have defended her, saying that she may have been working as an intern or volunteer during those four years.
Ultimately, it is up to the California Board of Social Workers to decide whether Ragland was practicing social work illegally. However, the revelation that she was never a licensed social worker has certainly raised some eyebrows.
It is important to note that Bower's book has not been independently verified, and Ragland has not responded to the allegations. Therefore, it is possible that the allegations are false. However, the fact that Bower is a respected royal author and that he has cited sources for his claims suggests that there may be some truth to them.
