In addition to reportedly attending her daughter's shower, Radlan is also slated to attend her daughter's Church of England baptism later this week.
The ceremony, which is scheduled to take place at the Kensington Palace chapel, will also reportedly reunite Radlan with her ex-husband, Thomas Markle. According to The Sunday Times, Markle's father is expected to fly in from Mexico for the sacred ceremony and will most likely meet Prince Harry for the first time.
The Sunday Times also reported that the baptism ceremony will be performed by Archbishop Justin Welby, who is also said to officiate the couple's wedding on May 19 at St. George's chapel.

"This wedding, like all weddings, will be a moment of fun and joy that will reflect the characters and values of the Bride and Groom."
