Meghan Markle looked typically chic while speaking at her close friend Oprah Winfrey’s book club session in California.
The Duchess of Sussex, 43, opted for a smart appearance as she attended the event at Godmothers bookstore in Summerland, located just miles from where she lives in Montecito, on Saturday.
Putting on an elegant display, the mother-of-two kept it simple in a sleeveless collared jumpsuit from Canadian-brand Club Monaco, which specialises in luxury casual clothing.
She paired it with minimal accessories, including her £5,000 Cartier Love bangle, that she’s owned since at least 2017, her Logan Hollowell diamond tennis necklace and Princess Diana’s £17,800 ($22,950) Cartier Tank Française watch.
Adding height to her smart look, Meghan sported her Jimmy Choo Etana 50mm sandals in tan and tortoise.
The Duchess was one of several speakers who addressed the crowd at Godmothers bookstore on the eve of the anniversary of Queen Elizabeth’s death, with Sunday marking two years since the monarch passed away.
The star-studded event was attended by actor Marco Leone, astrology and psychology expert Dr Jennifer Freed, and author, teacher and psychic medium Laura Lynne Jackson, all 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 Meghan’s children’s book The Bench and Prince Harry’s memoir Spare, which can be found front-and-centre in the shop, on its ‘hometown heroes’ shelf.
While it is unclear what exactly the Duchess said in her full address, the crowd appeared to be eating it up with Jackson branding Meghan as one of the evening’s ‘light-filled speakers’.
It is not surprising that Meghan, who lives in the same city as Winfrey, was invited to the talk show host’s book club session yesterday.
Winfrey has been close friends with Meghan for several years now and was a guest at the royal wedding in May 2018.
Their relationship appears to have grown even stronger over the years after the Sussexes moved into a $14million Montecito mansion, which is located just a stone’s throw from Oprah’s own sprawling home.
Then, in March 2021, she sat down with the couple for a bombshell 85-miniute tell-all interview that aired on primetime TV.
She even publicly weighed in on whether she thought they should attend King Charles’ Coronation in May 2023.
‘I think they should do what they feel is best for them and their family. That’s what I think,’ she said on the CBS Mornings show ahead of the event, adding: ‘They haven’t asked me my opinion.’
Harry ultimately attended the Coronation without Meghan and left immediately after the ceremony to return to California.
