"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.

Last January, another source revealed to Closer Weekly that Doria was aware her daughter's life in London had been miserable. Regardless of whether it implies conflicting with royal rules, Doria wants what's best for her daughter.

And she'll finally get her opportunity when Meghan and her husband Prince Harry bring their son Archie to Los Angeles. Meanwhile, an insider told PEOPLE that Meghan surely gets a lot of her strength from her mother.

Harry and Meghan have clarified that they would prefer not to be dependent on public funds in their new lives.

On January 8, Meghan and Harry made headlines when they declared they would be stepping back as senior members of the royal family. Doria has been a significant source of support ever since.

According to a source, the social worker said Meghan is strong and will consistently be alright. As reported by US Weekly, on January 13, Queen Elizabeth II confirmed that Meghan and Harry would never again be using their HRH royal titles.
