Doria Ragland, mother to Meghan Markle, celebrated her 70th birthday on Wednesday in California. Her milestone birthday comes shortly after her daughter and son-in-law, Prince Harry, returned to the United Kingdom with their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
Ragland, a social worker, was seen in casual attire, a white t-shirt and pajama pants, during a walk outside her California home. She was also pictured carrying a bag of pet food.

Reports indicate that Ragland plans to remain in California, where she is active in her yoga community and maintains close relationships with her grandchildren. This decision comes as Markle and Harry, who stepped back from their senior royal roles six years ago, have relocated from their Montecito mansion.
Meghan Markle, 45, and Prince Harry, 41, are reportedly house-hunting in the North Cotswolds area of the UK. Their move has reportedly been met with apprehension by some local residents, who are wary of the potential disruption and media attention that could accompany their presence. Royal commentators have suggested that the area values discretion, and there is a sentiment of hoping the couple does not bring excessive drama.
