There’s one day that Meghan Markle’s mom, Doria Ragland, will hold dear for the rest of her life, and that’s the day her daughter tied the knot with Prince Harry. It wasn’t just about the stunning wedding dress, Prince Charles walking Meghan down the aisle, or the couple’s first kiss as husband and wife. For Doria, it was a day filled with unforgettable moments, and she’s been reminiscing about it ever since.
A Special Moment with the Queen
Now here’s the thing—according to a recent report, while the entire wedding was magical, Doria’s favorite part wasn’t just the ceremony. Sure, watching her daughter say "I do" to the love of her life was incredible, but guess what? Meeting Queen Elizabeth topped her list of highlights! A source close to the family told Us Weekly, “Doria is saying the biggest highlight of the wedding, aside from watching her daughter say ‘I do’ to the man she loves, was meeting the queen.”
Now, let’s be real. Meeting the Queen of England could be nerve-wracking for anyone. But here’s the kicker—Meghan and Harry made sure Doria was well-prepared for the encounter. “It would have been extremely intimidating for anyone, but Meghan and Harry really did a marvelous job of preparing her [with] what to expect,” the source added.

Harry’s Thoughtful Introduction
So here’s the deal—what kind of son-in-law would Harry be if he didn’t introduce his bride’s mom to his own grandmother, the Queen of England? Since Meghan and Harry started dating, Harry has been sharing countless stories with Doria about the Queen as a grandmother and what she means to him. “Harry has told Doria numerous stories about the queen as a grandmother and what she [means] to him,” the source explained.
The Tea Meeting at Windsor Castle
One day before the big wedding, Doria had the honor of meeting Queen Elizabeth for tea at Windsor Castle. And guess what? They hit it off right away! Not only did she get to meet the Queen, but she also had the chance to connect with the rest of Harry’s family, including Kate Middleton, Prince William, and their adorable kids, Prince George and Princess Charlotte.
