Meghan Markle Shines at Oprah's Book Club on Queen's Death Anniversary Eve
Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, recently spoke at Oprah Winfrey's book club event at the Goodmothers bookstore in Summerland, California. The event featured a variety of speakers, including actor Marco Leone, astrology and psychology expert Dr. Jennifer Freed, and author Laura Lynne Jackson. Prominently displayed at the event was Prince Harry's memoir, "Spare," which has been a topic of significant public interest.
Oprah Winfrey and Meghan Markle's friendship has strengthened since the Sussexes' departure from their senior royal duties, a move supported by Oprah during their groundbreaking 2021 interview. Oprah, who attended Meghan and Harry's wedding in 2018, continues to express respect and support for the couple. This support extends to Meghan's family, including her mother, Doria.
The Goodmothers bookstore, co-owned by literary agent Jennifer Rudolph Walsh, is located near Meghan and Harry's Montecito residence and showcases works by local authors. The bookstore also promotes celebrity books, including Meghan's children’s book "The Bench." The timing of Meghan's appearance coincided with the second anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II's death, adding an additional layer of significance to the event.
Royal expert Tom Bower has suggested that Meghan may follow in Harry's footsteps and write her own memoir, a move that could impact their prospects for reconciliation with the royal family. Meanwhile, Meghan and Harry continue to enjoy lucrative deals with Spotify, Netflix, and book contracts, maintaining a high profile in the public eye.
