Meghan Markle's Mom Steps Into The Spotlight: A New Era For Royal Mothers

Carole Middleton and Doria Ragland Have Taken on Very Different Roles

Hey there, royal watchers! It’s been just a few months since Meghan Markle's mom, Doria Ragland, entered the world of royals, but she’s already carving out a more prominent role than Kate Middleton’s mom, Carole Middleton. Let’s take a closer look at how these two incredible women are navigating their roles in the royal family, and what it means for the future.

Carole Middleton: The Quiet Force Behind the Throne

When Kate Middleton, now 36, said "I do" to Prince William back in 2011, Carole Middleton, now 63, and her husband, Michael Middleton, decided to stay in the background, offering their support from behind the scenes. Carole has been a constant presence at major royal events, like her daughter’s wedding and the christenings of her famous grandchildren—Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. However, she's always kept a low profile, attending events as a guest rather than stepping into any official royal capacity.

Doria Ragland: A New Kind of Royal Mother

On the other hand, Doria Ragland, who is also 62 years old, has been making waves by taking a much more visible role. She recently joined her 37-year-old daughter, Meghan, at an official royal event, something Carole Middleton has never done. Doria wasn’t just a guest; she was there as an extended member of the monarchy. This event, a Kensington Palace party celebrating the publication of Meghan’s new charity cookbook, might be signaling a shift. Perhaps, with the Queen’s blessing, Doria is set to take on a much bigger role beside her daughter in the future.
