Meghan Markle’s mother Doria Ragland is getting friendly with momagers Tina Knowles and Kris Jenner who have ‘formed a new clique’ in recent months – so is she set to join their ranks as the Duchess launches her lifestyle brand?

Doria Ragland has been by her daughter Meghan Markle’s side since day one, and the couple share an incredibly close relationship.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex revealed in their 2022 Netflix documentary that Doria plays an integral role in their new life in Montecito as they raise Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, but in addition to being a mother and grandmother, she is starting her own star to ascend. in Hollywood circles.

The 67-year-old attended an arts event in Los Angeles last month with her daughter and son-in-law where, in a newly released photo, she smiled alongside Tina Knowles, Beyoncé Knowles’ mother.

It’s not the first time she’s been seen befriending a famous ‘mom’, as she also chatted with Kris Jenner at a This Is About Humanity event in Los Angeles last summer.

As Doria continues to move in high-profile A-list circles as her daughter Meghan prepares to launch her first lifestyle brand, could she join the ranks of the entertainment industry’s most notable moms who reportedly , have they formed a ‘new clique’ in recent months? ?

A ‘mom’ is the term given to mothers who have taken on managerial roles in the careers of their famous children.

Perhaps the best-known mother in the industry is Kris Jenner, who is the representative of her six children: Kim, Kourtney, Khloe and Rob Kardashian, as well as Kendall and Kylie Jenner.

Kris was instrumental in landing the reality show that made her family famous: Keeping up With the Kardashians.

Since then, all of their children have reached stratospheric heights: both Kim and Kylie have been officially declared billionaires in recent years.

Last August, Doria made waves with Kris and Kim when they both attended a This Is About Humanity benefit in Los Angeles.

As the trio posed for photos, they hugged and smiled, looking very friendly as they hugged each other.

The mother-of-one donned a vibrant cashmere shift dress in stunning shades of yellow, orange and pink as she mingled with celebrities at the event, which also included Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.

Last month, Doria also rubbed shoulders with another well-known mother in the entertainment industry: Tina Knowles.

The couple made a splash at the Kinsey African American History and Art Collection party, which had been hosted in part by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

While the royal couple was busy taking on organizational duties while greeting guests at the event, Doria made some contacts of her own.

Dressed with understated elegance as she donned a delicate white cardigan, she put her arm around Tina, 70, who was wearing an atypical power ‘momager’ outfit: a black jacket belted at the waist, paired with a quilted bag.

Tina has long been a driving force behind her singing daughters Beyoncé and Solange, and was also instrumental in the formation of Destiny’s Child, the band in which her eldest daughter made a name for herself.

Last year Hello! The magazine reported that Tina and Beyoncé had formed a new A-list friendship group during the Renaissance tour.

A tour source told the magazine that the mother-daughter ‘new clique’ included Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner, as well as female powerhouses Oprah Winfrey (a friend of the Sussexes) and Gayle King.

Kris even attended Beyoncé’s birthday party last September and was seen in the VIP section at several of Beyoncé’s tour dates.

“There is definitely a new brotherhood emerging with Kris at the helm,” the source said.

As the powerful women hone a tight-knit friendship group, it looks like Doria could very well be on their list of potential recruits.

Two days after Beyoncé’s 42nd birthday last September, Doria was present at the singer’s birthday concert where she enjoyed a seat in a VIP box at SoFi Stadium with her friend, lawyer Gina Zapanta.

A few days earlier, he had attended another Beyoncé concert with Meghan and Harry.

Since Harry and Meghan moved to California after Megxit, Doria has become a more vocal figure in public life.

Speaking in the couple’s Netflix documentary in 2022, she said: “I’m ready for my voice to be heard, that’s for sure.” A little about my experience as ‘(Meghan’s) mom’.

Her appearance in the documentary earned her Doria fans from around the world, who nicknamed her ‘Mama Doria’.

Nowadays, Doria is sometimes seen by her beloved daughter and son-in-law’s people as they attend glitzy, high-profile events across the United States.

Last year, she joined the Duke and Duchess of Sussex at the Women of Vision Awards in New York City, where Meghan was honored with an award.
