Meghan Markle has moved her mother, Doria Ragland, into the £8million mansion she and Prince Harry are renting in Los Angeles.
It is reported that Doria, a former social worker, is acting as an ‘unofficial nanny’ to one-year-old grandson Archie and to help the couple out as they find their feet in the United States.
The Duke and Duchess are understood to be looking to buy the home in the famous 90210 zip code, which is complete with a ‘granny annex’ for Doria to live in.
The source told the Sun: ‘Doria has her own quarters and whilst a few of Harry’s chums have been ribbing him about living with his mother-in-law, he has a brilliant relationship with her.’

Another source added that Meghan wants to keep her mother, 63, close as she is ‘her rock’ and now ‘doesn’t trust many people’ outside of an immediate circle of family and friends.
It is also been reported that Prince Harry has recently struck up an unlikely friendship with Hollywood actress Liza Minnelli, 74, who is helping him ‘find his feet’ in after leaving his royal life behind.

It is believed the Cabaret star reached out to the Prince, 35, because of good relationship with his late mother, Princess Diana.
The pair met a number of times during the 1990s, and were pictured enjoying drinks together at a charity film premiere for Minnelli’s film Stepping Out in 1991.
A source close to the family said that Harry had struggled with the transition to life in America, which was made harder by the coronavirus lockdown.
A friend said: ‘Liza reached out because she was close to Diana and offered her support.
‘She’s been dealing with paparazzi for years, and knows the fame game.
The Oscar-winning actress has previously said she was ‘lucky enough to count Princess Diana as a friend.’
Since moving California, Duchess Meghan has been unfortunately dragged into best friend Jessica Mulroney’s race row after ‘threatening’ a black social media influencer in an argument over white privilege.
Canadian fashion stylist Mulroney, who attended Meghan’s wedding to the Duke of Sussex, has now said she is ‘stepping back’ from social media following an online disagreement with Sasha Exeter.
The controversy has seen the CTV network remove Mulroney’s reality show I Do, Redo from its channels, saying her ‘recent conduct… conflicts with our commitment to diversity and equality’.

The move came after Exeter posted a 12-minute long video to Instagram, claiming Mulroney ‘took offence’ to her call of action for people to join the Black Lives Matter movement.
She said: ‘What happened next was a series of very problematic behaviour and antics that ultimately resulted in her (Mulroney) sending me a threat in writing last Wednesday.’
Exeter said the threat was an example of “textbook white privilege”.
She accused Mulroney of sending a message which read: ‘I have also spoken to companies and people about the way you have treated me unfairly. You think your voice matters. Well, it only matters if you express it with kindness and without shaming people who are simply trying to learn. Good luck.’
Mulroney frequently appeared on Meghan’s Instagram page, before it was closed as the former actress prepared to join the Royal Family.
But Meghan Markle is said to be ‘absolutely mortified’ with her best friend’s ‘tone-deaf’ threats and can ‘no longer be associated with her’
A source told Dailymail.com: ‘Meghan is absolutely mortified that she’s been dragged into this complete mess. She said Jessica is in no way a racist, but the way she handled the situation (with the fashion influencer) was tone-deaf and heartbreaking’.
