What role will Doria Ragland play in Baby Sussex's life?
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are expecting their little bundle of joy any day now, with rumours flying around the baby has already arrived.
All royal fans are searching for any details they can to figure out when exactly Baby Sussex is due exactly.
One of those signs undoubtedly will be when Duchess Meghan’s mother Doria Ragland joins the family in the UK from the United States.
The California-based yoga therapist has a close relationship with her only daughter, the Duchess of Sussex – and there has been plenty of discussion on what role she will play as Baby Sussex’s only grandmother.
Royal insiders say the couple have built an annex at their new home in Frogmore Cottage for Ragland to stay in after the tiny tot arrives.
Victoria Arbiter, 9Honey royal correspondent, believes the grandma-to-be will not be providing full-time support to the new royal baby.
“It's important to remember that Doria is Grandma ... I'm sure she will help in any way she's able to, but she's not the hired help,” she explained to 9honey.
“She's Granny, and Granny has a very specific role, a very nurturing and loving role.
“I think Doria's going to want to be involved in every aspect of this baby's life, just as any grandparent would want to be.”
However, the role Doria will play is expected to be slightly different to that of a normal grandmother.
It is likely the Duke and Duchess will enlist an army of nannies or a support team to help raise Baby Sussex from their arrival.
“She's got an amazing team of friends who I think she counts as her family, but having Doria there with her – what a special moment for these two ladies,” Arbiter said.
