Closer Weekly: Meghan Markle's Mom Doria Ragland Fully Supports Her Daughter's Royal Exit
Not every person concurs with the Duchess of Sussex's decision to step back from her regal obligations. However, her mother, Doria Ragland, will consistently have her back.
"Doria 100 percent supports Meghan's decision to leave the royal family," a source told Closer Weekly recently. The source added that Doria is no longer happy to see her daughter disturbed in the United Kingdom.
Doria also wants Meghan to be happy. When her royal duties were finished, Meghan called her mother to tell her how she got on.
