The source added that "the allegations are devastating for her. There is a lot of sadness."
However, they assured that Meghan "is staying strong" and that "she has many friends and family to lean on."
One of the people reportedly supporting the Duchess of Sussex at this time is her mother, Doria Ragland, who lives in Los Angeles and with whom she stays in contact.
The source confirmed to People that the two "are very close" and that "they are supporting each other."
Likewise, they explained that Meghan misses her mother and that speaking with her is helping her cope with the situation.
"She has missed her mom since moving to England, and this makes her miss her even more. They have been talking a lot. Being able to talk to her mom helps her, though she wishes they could be together," they shared.
Finally, the source assured that the Duchess of Sussex would be willing to cooperate with the authorities in charge of investigating the accusations against her father.
