Meghan Markle’s Mother Doria Ragland Gave Out Blankets To California Fire Victims

A desire to give back runs in the family - by Elyssa Kostopoulos
  • 20 Nov 2019

Like Australia, America is also experiencing their share of fires in the state of California; the dangerous conditions already being declared as an emergency. With tens of thousands of Californians facing evacuation orders and power outages amid the intensifying wildfires, lending a helping hand to those affected has never been more important.

Watch: Serena Williams speaks glowingly of friend Meghan Markle

Doria Ragland, mother of the Duchess of Cambridge, Meghan Markle, tends to agree, with a news reporter sharing that Ragland has stepped in to help those displaced due to the fires damaging or destroying their homes. 

Diez Minutos reported that Ragland had been photographed providing blankets to people in need, with the images also being shared to the @meghan_harry_news Instagram account.

Mama Doria brought warm blankets to those who survived a horrific fire but were left without their homes. 💙💙💙 That's where Meghan gets her loving, caring nature from. Like Mother, like Daughter. #WeLoveMama Doria! ❤❤ 📷: Gtres . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #meghanmarkle #princeharry #duchessofsussex #BabySussex #dukeofsussex #royal #sussexroyal #meghan #Harry #meghan_harry_news #uk #mama #mamadoria #charity

It’s no secret that the Duchess’s mother is known to have a charitable side. Meghan had often opened up about Doria’s influence on the Tig, her now-inactive lifestyle blog, in a post titled ‘How to be both’. 

"Both my parents came from little, so they made a choice to give a lot," she wrote, "buying turkeys for homeless shelters at Thanksgiving, delivering meals to patients in hospice care, donating any spare change in their pocket to those asking for it, and performing quiet acts of grace—be it a hug, a smile, or a pat on the back to show ones in need that they would be alright." 

Meghan’s sentiments were confirmed in 2018, when her mother accompanied her and Prince Harry for the launch of Meghan’s cookbook. This was Meghan’s first solo charity initiative since joining the royal family and benefited Hubb Community Kitchen, a group of women who have come together to prepare fresh food for their local community. 

Doria spoke about "The power of women," explaining, "We make things happen. We're curious, we say yes, we show up. I'm inspired."
