Meghan Markle's mum Doria is apparently taking baby classes

Now that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding is over and done with, the world is waiting on bated breath for the next exciting royal announcement – and all bets are leaning heavily towards a baby.

Fuelling speculation that an announcement isn’t far away, is a report circulating in the UK that Meghan’s mum Doria Ragland – who we all remember as the elegant and well-respected woman representing the bride at the wedding – is currently taking classes to prepare for a new arrival.

According to the Daily Star, 62-year-old Doria has quietly been taking classes on newborn care, breastfeeding and first aid.

“Doria’s been taking newborn specialist classes with the Cradle Company,” an unnamed source told the publication.

“Two of the teachers, Brandi and Hannah, are training Doria at her home half an hour away to avoid attracting unwanted attention.”

It’s also been reported that Doria may relocate to England from her home in the US to be closer to her daughter when the time comes for the pair to start a family.

She’s also said to have already had a taste of UK life after apparently enjoying an extended stay with the newlyweds at their Oxfordshire home over the European summer.

The reports come after Twitter went into overdrive when Meghan stepped out last week in a loose-fitting dress that featured ruffles over her midsection.

Both Meghan and Harry have been open about their desire to start a family – and that they don’t want to wait too long to do so.
