Ragland, who has a background in social work, cares deeply about mental health issues, a cause she shares with her daughter and her son-in-law, Prince Harry.

Both Harry and Meghan are involved with Heads Together, a mental health awareness campaign that Harry launched with his brother, Prince William, which aims to reduce the stigma around mental health in the United Kingdom.

So, basically, like mother, like daughter, and like son-in-law.
