As Meghan Markle gears up to start her own royal family with Prince Harry, she's making sure to soak up every last moment with her mom, Doria Ragland. With the world watching, Meghan is balancing her royal duties while cherishing her relationship with her mother. Since officially moving to England to be with her high-profile fiancé, Meghan hasn’t had much time to visit home. But according to insiders, she recently made a special trip back to LA to reconnect with her mom and close friends.

“Meghan is determined to include her mom in every step of the wedding planning process,” an insider exclusively told E! News. “Spending time with her mom was the perfect opportunity to update her on all the wedding details. Meghan wants her mom to be part of this magical journey. It’s an incredible time for her and Harry, and she wants her mom right by her side.”

Meghan’s Final US Visit Before the Big Day

According to the latest scoop, Meghan won’t have another chance to visit the US before her royal wedding on Saturday, May 19, which will take place at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle, UK. This private getaway was likely bittersweet for Meghan, knowing it could be her last trip home before becoming a full-fledged member of the royal family. But don’t worry—Doria is already planning an extended trip to London to visit her 36-year-old daughter and help finalize the wedding details. “Being in London will give Doria her first chance to see the stunning wedding gown up close,” the insider added. “Everything is falling into place beautifully.”

Secret Ceremony and Family Drama

Back in early March, rumors swirled that both Doria and Meghan’s father, Tom Markle Sr., would travel to London to attend their daughter’s Baptism into the Church of England. However, this special occasion reportedly already took place in a highly secretive ceremony at the Royal Chapel in London’s St. James’s Palace on Tuesday, March 6. Only a select few were in attendance—Harry, Prince Charles, and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall. Surprisingly, neither parent was present, adding to the mystery surrounding the event.

Will Both Parents Attend the Royal Wedding?

It remains unclear whether both of Meghan’s parents will attend her royal wedding. However, sources close to the couple revealed to Life & Style that Meghan does want her father to be there—and even play a pivotal role in the ceremony. “Everyone has their issues, but Meghan’s love for her dad hasn’t wavered,” said an insider close to the bride-to-be. “She’s confided in Harry that she wants her dad to walk her down the aisle. Harry is completely supportive and will honor Meghan’s wishes, even if the palace isn’t thrilled with the idea.”
