News of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, along with their family, returning to the UK, has shaken royal circles, but one member will not go with them.

Doria Ragland.

Mom of Markle and doted maternal grandmother, according to TMZ, will remain in Los Angeles.

Sources say Ragland isn't ready to give up her home and life in LA, where she has built a yoga community and close circle of friends.

When Sussexes were living in Montecito, Markle's mother often visited and even had a quarter at their sprawling house.

Still, the alleged decision of Ragland comes after reports say Harry and Meghan will not remain in the UK for good.

Insiders describe it as more of a "temporary" stay; however, they do not give a rough timeline for when they might return to the UK.

One reported reason for their return to Britain after six years is their children's education.

Both Archie and Lilibet are enrolled at an English school, with classes starting in September, but the school's name has been kept under wraps for security and privacy reasons.

Despite their return, Harry and Meghan reportedly will not step back into the royal duties they quit in 2020.

Not to mention, the couple's properties will remain there, raising the prospect that they may decide to return to US soil.
