Meghan Markle was one of the lucky ones this Mother’s Day. The duchess was able to reunite with her mother, Doria Ragland, just in time for the special day.
According to OprahMag.com, Meghan along with Prince Harry and their one-year-old son, Archie, all met up with Doria in a safe visit during the coronavirus crisis.
A source shared that the family remained cautious of social distancing guidelines during the get-together.
Doria has remained a steady support throughout Meghan’s life and especially during her transition in and out of royal life.
Meghan’a mother was the only family member of the duchess who attended her and Harry’s 2018 nuptials.
She also flew to London from California ahead of her grandson Archie’s birth.
Since the Sussexes’ Stateside move to Los Angeles, Ragland was reportedly the driving force behind the couple’s decision to volunteer with Project Angel Food, an organisation that delivers food to ill individuals at home amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
Meghan and Harry were seen last month delivering prepared meals, emergency kits, and non-perishables to people too sick to shop and cook for themselves.
Ragland has reportedly been a lifelong influence on the Duchess of Sussex when it comes to the concept of giving back.
“Meghan didn’t have much when she was a child, but her mum made sure they always gave back,” a source previously told People
The visit comes not long after Archie celebrated his first birthday.
It seems Harry and Meghan are determined not to let coronavirus stop their fun as Archie celebrated turning one last week with his two “best friends”, according to a source.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex treated their son to a cake, balloons and Zoom calls from their new home in Los Angeles.
The family’s two dogs – beagle Guy and a black Labrador – described as Archie’s “best friends” were also there.
A source told People: “Meghan made the cake – strawberries and cream.
“And Harry helped with decorations and blew up balloons.
“They Zoomed with godparents, friends and family and had a really simple but incredibly joyous day.”
The source said that Archie “is best friends with his dogs”, who were part of the celebrations.
The insider added: “They make him laugh and are gentle with him.”
The Sussexes are also said to have been in contact with the Cambridges in recent weeks.
The brothers have reportedly been keeping in touch on the phone and reports have emerged that the rift between the two royals has finally begun to heal.
