- Tina Knowles was recently spotted at one of Meghan Markle’s Archewell events supporting Black artists alongside the ex-royal’s mum, Doria Ragland

Meghan Markle’s mum, Doria Ragland, has been getting friendly with two of the most famous “momagers” in the biz.
Last month, Ragland was pictured at an art event with Tina Knowles, the mother of music superstars Beyoncé and Solange, in Los Angeles. According to The Kinsey Collection, its event centred around a discussion of “the history and significance of Black art and how various communities can work together to preserve this vital piece of American history” and was “brought together through a partnership between The Archewell Foundation and The Bernard and Shirley Kinsey Foundation for Arts and Education”.

Ragland was also spotted with reality queen and Kardashian-Jenner matriarch Kris Jenner at a This Is About Humanity event in LA last year, per British media.

What’s more, with the Duchess of Sussex’s increasing influence in Hollywood circles – from launching a Netflix documentary to her Spotify podcast in 2022 – it certainly makes sense to mingle with other mums whose daughters are in the spotlight.
