Meghan Markle's Mother Arrives in London For Birth Of Baby Sussex
Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, and Prince Harry may be keeping the birth of their baby private, but the signs are clear: Baby Sussex will be welcomed into the world any day now. Our latest hint? Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland, flew in to London from Los Angeles to be with her daughter for the birth.
While Meghan’s father has caused some public controversy, she’s always been close with her mother. Ragland was the only member of Meghan’s family at the royal wedding, and had visited the couple several times during their engagement. “Meghan draws a lot of strength from her mother,” a long-time friend of Meghan’s told People back in May of 2018. Another source from the wedding confirms that Ragland was “bursting with pride” at her daughter’s nuptials, which she watched with “tears in her eyes.”
