Doria Ragland's Unwavering Support for Her Daughter Meghan
While opinions on Meghan Markle's decision to step away from her royal duties vary, one thing is crystal clear: her mother, Doria Ragland, stands by her daughter’s side with unconditional support. Doria has always been a rock for Meghan, and this moment is no different. In a world where decisions are often scrutinized under the spotlight, it’s comforting to know that family can provide the kind of backing that’s both steady and heartfelt.
An insider revealed exclusively to Closer Weekly, “Doria 100 percent supports Meghan’s decision to leave the royal family. She couldn’t stand seeing her daughter so unsettled in the U.K. and is determined to ensure Meghan’s happiness above all else. In fact, Meghan called her mom the moment her royal duties officially ended to share how things had gone. It’s a testament to their close bond that they remain connected through every major life decision.”

A Mother Who Understands Her Daughter's Heart
Among all the people who know Meghan, her mom truly gets her in a way that’s both deep and personal. As one insider shared with Closer in January, “Doria knows Meghan has been unhappy in London for a while now. She prioritizes her daughter’s well-being, even if it means breaking away from the traditional expectations of the royal family. That’s how much she cares for Meghan's happiness.”

That’s why Doria was thrilled when she learned that her daughter was dividing her time between Canada and the U.K. For Doria, this arrangement wasn’t just about giving Meghan a break—it was about reuniting her family. “She couldn’t wait to spend more quality time with her loved ones,” an insider said. And now, with Harry and Meghan bringing Archie to L.A., Doria’s wish is finally coming true.
Looking Forward to Family Time in L.A.
It’s been quite some time since Doria last spent time with her grandson, Archie. Since Christmas, the family has been apart, but that’s about to change. “Doria hasn’t seen Archie in a while, but she’ll be seeing him very soon,” a third source told Closer on Monday, March 9. “She’s a strong, independent woman who leads her own life in L.A., but nothing makes her happier than the thought of spending time with her grandchild. The excitement is palpable!”
On March 9, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex made their final appearance as senior members of the royal family. They joined Duchess Kate, Prince William, Queen Elizabeth, Prince Charles, and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, for the Commonwealth Day Service, marking the end of an era in their royal journey.

When Meghan walked into Westminster Abbey for what might be her last royal event of 2020, she looked stunning in an Emilia Wickstead dress. The moment was bittersweet, reminding us of the many beautiful memories she created during her time as a senior royal. As she moves forward into this new chapter, we’re rooting for her happiness and success.
