According to a source disclosed to Closer, the couple frequently turns to Doria Ragland, who recently moved into the guesthouse on their California property, whenever they face disagreements or challenges. The source revealed that Harry jokingly refers to Doria as their "in-house guru," but the reality is not far from that.
The insider shared, "Any time they're having trouble making a decision or arguing about something, she's the first person they turn to." Doria's role goes beyond being a typical mother-in-law, as Harry reportedly seeks her advice and support whenever he faces difficulties, especially after disagreements with Meghan.
The source emphasized that instead of impulsively approaching conflicts with Meghan, Harry prefers seeking Doria's perspective first. The yoga instructor is regarded as a valuable source of guidance in moments of relationship tension.
Doria reportedly moved into the Sussexes’ guesthouse on their California property at the beginning of the month, according to reports. As one of the few extended family members still in touch with the couple and their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, Doria plays a significant role in providing support and advice.
Meghan's relationship with her father, Thomas Markle, and siblings has been strained since her marriage to Prince Harry almost six years ago. Additionally, the couple's decision to step down from their royal roles in 2020 further strained their ties with the royal family.
