One of the first projects that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle undertook at their new home in Montecito, California, is to convert one of the houses into a space for Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland.

All this spring it was reported that Harry and Meghan wanted Doria to hang out with them full time.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle settled down in their new home in Montecito, a community in Santa Barbara, about an hour north of Los Angeles.
While working to turn the $ 14.65 million home into a truly forever home, one of the first projects has apparently been to create a special space just for Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland.
“They are converting one of the pensions into a home for Doria, who plans to split her time between LA and Montecito,” a source close to the couple said Us weekly.
This move obviously does not come as a surprise to royal fans, as it has been reported for months now that Harry and Meghan wanted Doria to hang out with them.
“When quarantine and lockdown are over, Harry and Meghan will move to their new path – and they want Doria included in these plans,” a source close to the couple said The sun in May. “However, she is very independent and does not want to be in her space. She will have her own grandmother annex.”
Since moving to the new house, Harry and Meghan have taken time to get to know their neighbors and, apparently, they are happy with the people around them.
“They’ve already met a few of their neighbors, like Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry, who are local,” the Us weekly source explained. “Orlando voted for Prince Harry [the HBO Max comedy series] The Prince is a joke between their words. If you’ll be shaking someone up, it might just be the real deal! And there’s of course Ellen [DeGeneres], who knows Meghan from back to back. “
The neighborhood also includes some lesser-known families, but that’s actually part of the appeal to the Sussexes, apparently.
“A lot of their new neighbors are CEOs and financiers and their families. They’re not the type of people they sell out of,” the source added. “Harry and Meghan finally feel happy, safe and at home!”
