We share it with friends and donate to a local food bank.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Doria features in the series finale of the show \u2013 joining Meghan, her husband <a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/prince-harry\/\" class=\"exposure-link \" data-linktrack=\"LinkTracker,articleExposure,prince-harry\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Prince Harry<\/a>, 40, and some of the duchess\u2019 friends for a celebratory brunch. <\/p>\n<p>Describing the occasion, Meghan said: \u201cHaving a brunch in the sunshine with the people that I love, celebrating this next chapter of my life.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\nShe also spoke about her love of spicy food in episode seven of the series, recalling: \u201cI have a very, very high tolerance for spicy, and I love it. I crave it. \u201cEven at a young age, we didn\u2019t have a lot, but we travelled. <\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cMy mom was a travel agent. We would just try so many different flavours in so many different places.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nMeghan also credited her mother for her taste in food, adding: \u201cMy mom would make gumbo, and soul food has a lot of flavour and a lot of kick to it.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cI crave that, and I always gravitate to that level of heat. So I am ushering my family into my palate, but I love it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nMeghan spoke about her passion for feeding people, saying: \u201cI think it\u2019s probably my love language. <\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cMaybe that\u2019s a mom thing, but even before I had kids, I just loved the idea of being able to see someone go, \u2018Gasp \u2013 that\u2019s so good,\u2019 and knowing that you were a part of that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nA close bond between Meghan and Doria has been well documented. A family friend told People: \u201cShe has a softness but also a steely core to her. She and Meghan are so close. Harry really gets on well with her too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nDaniel Martin, Meghan\u2019s longtime friend and make-up artist, also spoke about the influence Ragland has had on Meghan.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe told People: \u201cMeghan draws a lot of strength from her mother. Doria is classy, chic and confident, but not unapproachable. <\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cI definitely feel Meghan gets a lot of that from her mother.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nMeghan previously paid tribute to her mother in a Mother\u2019s Day post on her former lifestyle blog, The Tig, in 2014. <\/p>\n<p>\nThe former actress said: \u201cShe was keeping me safe. She was teaching me to take care of my body. She was introducing me to history, and fostering a love of being outdoors. She was planting the seed for me to become a foodie.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/royal_family\/meghan-duchess-sussex-reveals-one-memorable-christmas-gifts-got-mother-1415137.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>13 March 2025 Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, has revealed one of the most memorable Christmas gifts she ever got from her mother during an episode of her new lifestyle series \u2018With Love, Meghan\u2019.
