A Peek Inside Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s Inner Circle

Doria Ragland, mother of Meghan Markle, has confirmed the existence of Meg's son after her friends raised concerns about the absence of Archie in their house.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been happily settled in the United States for nearly two and a half years since stepping back from royal duties.

They are currently enjoying their life in an 11 million pound mansion in Montecito, Santa Barbara, with their two children – three-year-old Archie and one-year-old Lilibet.

While Meghan, who hails from Los Angeles, has a circle of friends in her home state, discover who has managed to become part of the couple's inner circle in California.

One notable member is tennis pro Serena Williams, who first met Meghan in 2014 at a charity football match.

Their friendship blossomed quickly, with Serena becoming a confidante for Meghan, someone she could rely on during travels and share girly conversations with.

Interestingly, Serena used to be one of Meghan's neighbors when the Sussexes briefly resided in LA before moving to Montecito.

Both friends lived in the same gated community in the exclusive Beverly Hills 90210 postcode.

Additionally, the American singer and British actor own property in Santa Barbara within the same gated community as Harry and Meghan.

During a podcast with Dax Shepard in May 2021, Prince Harry shared how the move to Montecito has provided him with more privacy away from the paparazzi attention he faced in the past.

He mentioned receiving supportive messages from fellow celebrities like Orlando Bloom, who also resides nearby.

Another prominent figure in Meghan and Harry's social circle is media mogul Oprah Winfrey, who conducted their first tell-all interview after they left royal life behind.

James Corden, a long-time friend of Harry's, was invited to the royal wedding in 2018 and hosted the Duke on his Late Late Show in 2021.

The pair had a memorable segment where they toured LA on a double-decker bus, discussing life post-royalty.

Meanwhile, actress Catherine and her music producer husband David Foster have been seen socializing with Harry and Meghan, highlighting their close friendship.

In a bid to support Meghan's mental health struggles, Doria Ragland temporarily moved in with Prince Harry and Meghan to assist in caring for Archie.

Reports suggest that Meghan faced challenges in looking after her son, prompting Doria to step in and provide support.

Meghan and Harry's decision to relocate to California came after their resignation as senior royals in 2020, with Meghan later discussing issues of racism within the royal family during an interview with Oprah Winfrey.
