Meghan Markle speaks at Oprah Winfrey’s ebook membership in California

Meghan Markle spoke at her close friend Oprah Winfrey’s book club session last night in California where her husband’s controversial memoir Spare was proudly on display. 

The Duchess, 43, was one of several ‘light-filled’ speakers who addressed the crowd at Goodmothers bookstore and gathering space in Summerland, located just miles from where she lives in Montecito.

The star-studded event was attended by actor Marco Leone and author, teacher and psychic medium Laura Lynne Jackson, both of whom highlighted Meghan on their Instagram stories. 

Godmothers, co-owned by literary agent Jennifer Rudolph Walsh, just celebrated its grand opening weekend by hosting a slew of events and ‘conversations’ with celebrities and authors.

The bookstore appears to be promoting several popular celebrity books including Prince Harry‘s memoir Spare.

Meghan appeared at the event last night, on the eve of the second anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s death. 

While it is unclear what the Duchess said in her address, the crowd appeared to be eating it up with Jackson branding Meghan as one of the evening’s ‘light-filled speakers’.

Godmothers, which is concluding its grand opening weekend with events today, is seemingly proud of Meghan and Harry, whom the owner has hailed as a ‘hometown author’.
