The surname "Ragland" is also from the West Country region (Wiltshire/Dorset/Devon) so it is likely there is an English ancestor from there as well. I read somewhere they have a Cornish ancestor.

This focuses on the ancestry of Meghan's mother, Doria Ragland's father.

Doria Ragland has two mulatto great-grandparents, Jeremiah Ragland and Claudia Ritchie, which means her grandfather, Steve R. Ragland is roughly half white, half black. So Markle's mother is AT LEAST 1/8 white from that, assuming that her ancestors listed as "black" had no mixture. Then, she has a great-great-great grandfather, Joseph Betts, listed as "colored" which implies he was not fully black.

The information is not listed for Doria Ragland's mother, but it is highly unlikely she has no white ancestry.

Therefore it is likely Markle's mother is less than 80% Sub-Saharan.

It appears Jeremiah Ragland was the son of a black dad and a white mom, which was rare in those days.

She is Black and beautiful as they say! Her European ancestry is most likely between 20%-25% as most African-Americans.
