Prince Harry Hung Out with Meghan Markle's Mom at the Invictus Games

published 2 October 2017

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle finally gave the world the photo op it has been waiting for during the closing ceremony of the Invictus Games. When pictures of the couple canoodling and even kissing (opens in new tab) hit the internet, you could almost hear a collective "aww," around the world.

But, while we were all distracted by the royal PDA (opens in new tab), we were missing an even more serious relationship milestone for the couple: Harry hung out with Meghan's mom.

Here's Meghan and her mom, Doria Ragland, enjoying the ceremony:

And just look at the casual boredom on his face. This is not a guy meeting his girlfriend's mom for the first time. He's not on edge. This is the comfort that comes after several successful family hangouts (we can only assume—if only Kensington Palace could share some personal pictures and confirm):

Nothing has shown how serious these two are more than this. Next, we'd love some pictures of Meghan hanging out with Harry's family, please.
