As Meghan Markle inches closer to officially becoming a part of the British royal family, the pressure is mounting. But it's not just about the glitz and glamour. Sources close to the former actress reveal that Meghan is struggling to sleep at night, and it’s not for the reasons you might think. Her biggest concern? The safety of her beloved mom, Doria Ragland.

Here's the deal: Doria lives in a regular suburban street in LA, far from the world of palaces and protocol. But with Meghan's newfound fame, her mom has become a target of sorts. "Meghan's mind is racing with all sorts of scenarios," an insider shared. "Her anxiety kicked into overdrive when she underwent SAS training to prepare for potential kidnapping threats. But instead of worrying about herself, she couldn’t stop thinking, 'What if this happens to my mom?'"

A Bold Plan for Doria's Future

Meghan isn’t taking this lying down. In a move that’s as bold as it is heartfelt, she's reportedly planning to ask Queen Elizabeth for permission to bring Doria into Kensington Palace after the wedding. That's right—she wants her mom to join the royal household. "Harry was taken aback by how assertive Meghan was about this," a source said. "But he fully supports her. He adores Doria and appreciates having someone motherly around after so many years without one."

And here's the kicker: Harry understands the worry. Growing up, he was always concerned about his mom, Princess Diana, and her safety. Now, he sees the parallels between his past and Meghan's present. It's a bond that brings them even closer together.

Doria's Life in LA

Meanwhile, back in LA, Doria is doing her best to keep things normal. As a social worker and yoga teacher, she's used to living a quiet life. But now, with her daughter in the spotlight, everything has changed. "She’s still going about her daily routine, but she feels like she has to be on high alert all the time," a family friend said. "She hasn’t told Meghan this because she doesn’t want to add to her stress—but Meghan knows her mom too well."

Their relationship is unique. It's more like a sisterly bond than a traditional mother-daughter dynamic. Despite the distance, Meghan can sense something's off. "Doria and Meghan have this unspoken connection," the friend added. "Even miles apart, they can feel each other's emotions."
