The Duchess of Sussex’s mother was seen browsing in one of the LA branches of the discount store on Saturday evening. Ms Ragland cut a casual figure as she purchased dog food at the bargain department store which sells home furnishing, beauty products and clothing.
The outing is a far cry from Meghan’s royal life with Prince Harry.
She shocked fellow shoppers in the California store, with one saying: "Target is a middle of the road store and everyone shops there.
“But you don't expect to see someone connected to the English Royal Family wandering down the aisles.
"She has a very distinctive look and I immediately recognised her. She went into the pet aisle.

"Besides myself, I don't think anyone noticed that it was her.
"She was not bothered at all and went about almost unnoticed.

"It was definitely cool to see her because we are so far removed from it
