Ms Ragland has been making a series of trips to the UK to visit Meghan, and now wants to get her own place so she can spend more time with the Duchess of Sussex.
The mother and daughter reportedly “speak on the phone pretty much everyday”.
Meghan’s mother wants to be there more often for her daughter, particularly if “grandchildren come along”, according to a royal source.
The royal source told Vanity Fair: “Doria is very close to her daughter, and she has made several secret trips to England.
“They speak on the phone pretty much every day and they are talking about Doria getting a place in the UK so that she can spend part of the year over here.
“I think the idea is that Doria will have a pied-à-terre here so that she has her own space. She wants the ability to be here more often, especially if grandchildren come along.”
Ms Ragland, 62, surprised guests when she made an appearance at Meghan’s cookbook launch in Kensington Palace on Thursday.
Meghan, husband Prince Harry and Ms Ragland were pictured mingling and greeting guests at the Together: Our Community cookbook reception, the Duchess’ first solo royal event.
Ms Ragland looked sophisticated in a beige trouser suit outfit with a Pashmina shawl over her shoulders, finishing her look off with a pair of Stuart Weitzman heels.
Meghan stunned in a black knitted shirt from Tuxe and pleated skirt from Misha Nonoo, topping her outfit with a blue Smythe coat.
The event was held to help raise funds for the Hubb Community kitchen, dedicated to helping victims of the Grenfell fire.
The Duchess of Sussex was first inspired by the women after making a trip to the kitchen in January, where Ms Ragland said Meghan “felt very much at home”.
She decided to help publish a cookbook, featuring the women’s recipes ranging from European, Middle Eastern, Asian and African dishes, to help raise funds to run the kitchen.
The duchess wrote the foreword to the Together: Our Community cookbook, which reads: “I immediately felt connected to this community kitchen; it is a place for women to laugh, grieve, cry and cook together.
“Melding cultural identities under a shared roof, it creates a space to feel a sense of normalcy – in its simplest form, the universal need to connect, nurture, and commune through food, through crisis or joy – something we can all relate to.
“Through this charitable endeavour, the proceeds will allow the kitchen to thrive and keep the global spirit of community alive.”
