In 2019, Doria Ragland became a grandmother when her daughter, Meghan Markle, gave birth to a sweet little son with a very big name. Per Royal.uk, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor is seventh in line for the throne. Official photos of Archie meeting Queen Elizabeth included his maternal grandmother looking on lovingly. Us Weekly reports that she spent several weeks with her daughter and son-in-law to help them care for her infant grandson before she returned home to California.
Luckily for Ragland, her daughter is much closer to home these days. Following the birth of her second grandchild, Lilibet, in 2021, Ragland gifted Meghan and Harry with her time, becoming a hands-on grandmother to the young parents. "Meghan's so grateful to have her mom to lean on, and Harry just adores her," a source told Us Weekly.
Lilibet Diana was named after her great-grandmother, Elizabeth, whose nickname is Lilibet, and her late grandmother, Princess Diana. But the duke and duchess also call her Lili, which could be a subtle nod to Ragland, who called Meghan "Flower" when she was a child.
