Now that the fairytale royal wedding is officially in the books, Meghan Markle has her sights set on another significant chapter: helping her beloved mom, Doria Ragland, make the big move across the pond. The newly minted Duchess of Sussex is eager for her mother to relocate from Los Angeles to London, ensuring she's close by—not only for her and Prince Harry but also for the future little ones they hope to welcome into the family.
In a recent exclusive, a close source revealed to In Touch just how much this transition means to Meghan. "They’re best friends," the source explained. "Meghan absolutely hates being apart from her mom and feels it’s crucial for Doria to be nearby, especially as she and Harry start their own family. It's vital for her future kids to build a strong bond with their grandmother, and having Doria around will only enhance that connection."

With Meghan, 36, already scouring the market in Kensington and Chelsea, there's a chance Doria might end up even closer to her daughter. "She may even move into the palace," the source hinted. For those who’ve followed the duo’s relationship, this close proximity shouldn’t come as a surprise. After all, Meghan and Doria share a bond that goes far beyond the typical mother-daughter dynamic.
Understanding the Special Bond Between Meghan and Doria
In a heartfelt 2017 essay for Glamour magazine, Meghan opened up about her admiration for her mom. "My mom’s a yoga instructor, but her passion extends beyond that," Meghan wrote. "She does incredible social work, particularly with the geriatric community. Watching her dedicate her life to nurturing and caregiving has been such an inspiration to me. But here’s the thing—my mom is also a free spirit. She sports dreadlocks and a nose ring, ran the LA Marathon just last year, and has this incredible ability to balance being both a source of comfort and pure fun. That kind of duality makes her not just my mom, but also my best friend."

Of course, a move to London would mean more opportunities for Doria to connect with other members of the royal family, including Queen Elizabeth herself. It’s no secret that meeting the monarch was one of the most memorable moments of Doria’s wedding weekend. "Doria was absolutely thrilled to meet the queen," a source shared with Us Weekly. "While it might have been intimidating for anyone else, Meghan and Harry made sure she knew exactly what to expect, easing any nerves. They truly went above and beyond to ensure her comfort during such a significant event."
As Meghan continues to navigate her new life as a royal, having her mom nearby will undoubtedly provide a comforting anchor. And for royal fans, this next chapter promises to bring even more heartwarming moments to the forefront.
