Meghan Markle was feted by her newfound celebrity pals and recent co-stars on Wednesday at a posh baby shower held at The Mark hotel in New York City, while across the country her mother was seen walking alone in Los Angeles.
Photos obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com show Doria Ragland heading out to run errands in California around the same time a harp and cotton candy machine were being rolled into The Mark for her her daughter's shower.
Ragland, who was dressed in black from head-to-toe, was seen carrying a box to hr car and then heading back inside to grab a a container of food and some soup as she jumped into her car and drove off just before noon.
It is unclear if Markle plans to meet up with her mother before the birth of her first child with Prince Harry, as she is scheduled to travel to Morocco this weekend before hosting a second, more intimate baby shower in London.
