Meghan Markle's mother, Doria Ragland, just attended her first royal engagement. She joined her daughter to attend the launch of her new cookbook, Together: Our Community Cookbook, at Kensington Palace. Prince Harry was also in attendance, but let's be real-Doria is Meghan's perfect date!
The California-based yoga instructor was dressed in a beige sweater, slacks, ankle-strap pumps, and a shawl for the occasion. She appeared to fit right into the royal setting, and introduced herself to guests as "Meghan's mom," according to ITV News' Chris Ship.

To celebrate the release of Together: Our Community Cookbook today, the Duchess of Sussex invited the women whose recipes are featured in the collection to prepare some of the dishes at Kensington Palace for guests. The women, survivors last year's Grenfell Fire, are from Hubb Community Kitchen, a space they created to make and share meals in the wake of the tragedy.
They'll be cooking for members of the local community and representatives from Ebury Press, Al Manaar MuslimCultural Heritage Centre, and The Royal Foundation at the Palace, according to a press release.
We don't know the exact menu just yet, but the fare will likely feature chicken coconut curry, aubergine masala, shared dips, caramelized plum upside-down cake, and spiced mint tea, according to the Palace.
Together: Our Community Cookbook is on sale today.
