Meghan Markle’s mother, Doria Ragland, is garnering praise for her resemblance to the late Queen Elizabeth II in her approach to family and public life. At 68, Ragland, known for her close bond with her daughter and role as a dedicated grandmother, mirrors the Queen’s famous motto: “never complain, never explain.”

A former confidant of Ragland told the Mail on Sunday that she embodies this royal principle, demonstrating unwavering loyalty and discretion. This trait was evident when Ragland was the sole family member to attend Harry and Meghan’s wedding in 2018. “She’s laid-back, but don’t underestimate her strength,” the source noted.

Ragland’s influence extends beyond her personal demeanor. She has become a supportive figure for both Meghan and Prince Harry, often caring for their children, Archie and Lilibet, during public engagements. Her discreet nature and warm personality have made her a beloved figure in the Sussex family.

Recently, Meghan highlighted her mother’s impact during a speech at a forum celebrating Afro-Colombian women in Colombia. Meghan praised her mother’s strength and the inspiration she draws from her, emphasizing the importance of love, kindness, and generosity in her approach to life.

Ragland’s role and relationship with the Sussexes continue to be a source of admiration and respect, aligning her with the dignified and reserved approach exemplified by Queen Elizabeth II.
