On September 7, Meghan Markle and the iconic Oprah Winfrey met again, this time at an event celebrating literature and community.
Following the controversial interview Meghan and her husband Prince Harry gave, where they made shocking revelations about the British royal family, the Duchess of Sussex has redirected her focus to altruistic causes, specifically in the literary field.

The two celebrities met at the opening of Godmothers bookstore, located in Summerland, California, a picturesque town near Montecito, where Meghan and Harry have lived since 2020.
During the event, Markle, 43, took the stage to offer a few words of encouragement to the authors present, highlighting the importance of literature and the power of stories in the life of the community.
An image shared on Instagram by author Laura Lynne Jackson captured the moment when Meghan addressed the attendees, accompanied by the caption, “Most light-filled evening of speakers…”
This phrase reflects the spirit of the event, which not only celebrated the opening of a new literary space, but also the coming together of prominent voices in support of culture and creativity.
Among those present, in addition to Meghan, was Oprah Winfrey, who is widely recognized for her influence in the media and her commitment to various social causes.
Together, both iconic figures have become advocates for wellness and empowerment, using their platforms to generate awareness about the importance of education and reading.
Joining Meghan and Oprah were also author Shaka Senghor, astrologer Jennifer Freed, and co-founders of the new bookstore, Jennifer Rudolph Walsh and Victoria Jackson. People magazine reported the successful attendance of these personalities, who contributed to the vibrant atmosphere of the event.
Although Prince Harry, 39, was not present, his work “Spare,” published in 2023, was part of an exhibition dedicated to books by “local authors.”
