Meghan Markle reveals she is entering ‘chapter of joy’ at Oprah Winfrey’s book club on eve of Queen’s death anniversary
The Duchess of Sussex, 43, was one of several speakers at the event at Godmothers bookstore, in Summerland, California.
Prince Harry’s memoir Spare was displayed on the “hometowns heroes” shelf at the glitzy bash, which celebrated the store’s opening this weekend.
Meghan’s appearance landed on the eve of the second anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s death today.
Speaking at the book club, she said: “I’m looking at this time as my chapter of joy.
“The more you are able to look at your life and really, truly recognise and be able to be grateful for your life – you have to be grateful for all aspects of it.
Bookstore co-owner, and literary agent, Jennifer Rudolph Walsh said of the collection: “This is our local authors shelf when you first walk in.
“I want it to be when you first walk in so that authors who are local to the area know that this is their hometown bookstore.
“And we celebrate our hometown authors as if they were our hometown heroes, because to us they are.”
Meghan and Oprah have been close pals for several years, and the famous talk show host was a guest at the Sussexes’ wedding in 2018.
The friendship appears to have solidified since Harry and Meghan moved to their Montecito mansion in 2020.
The couple then sent shock waves across the globe throughout their sit-down interview with Oprah in 2021, during which harsh claims were lobbed at the Firm.
Meghan told the US host she “couldn’t be left alone” and “didn’t want to be alive anymore'”.
Before making a huge claim that the Buckingham Palace HR department ignored her pleas for help.
The couple also alleged that certain members of the Royal Family had speculated about Prince Archie’s skin colour.
It was later claimed the royals were Princess Kate and King Charles, after Harry and Meghan’s former pal Omid Scobie published his hatchet-job book Endgame.
Oprah has also publicly spoken about the pair and their fractured relationship with the Royal Family.
