EBN- Over the course of two days, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry attended the opening of Godmothers, a bookstore near their home in Montecito, California, owned by literary agent Winfrey Jackson and makeup artist Rudolph Walsh, two of Meghan’s close friends.
Meghan gave an opening speech on the first day of the bookstore’s opening, and she briefly reminisced about her time at the royal palace, talking about the importance of reading in people’s lives and how much it meant to her to have such a rich library near her home. She and Prince Harry then walked around the bookstore, chatting with the crowd, before Meghan had to make an abrupt exit.
“I have to go so I can make dinner for the kids,” Meghan said loudly, apologizing to the crowd.
Meghan Markle’s opening remarks
Meghan Markle , in her opening remarks, recalled the last time she had set foot in such a place, in 2019, during a secret trip to New York from the UK to watch her friend Serena Williams play in the US Open. She stayed overnight in the West Village with another friend, fashion designer Misha Nonoo, before anyone knew Meghan was in town, and then went for a stroll to a bookstore.
“For me, sneaking into New York five years ago was a really big thing,” the duchess said, describing how she put on a hat and lowered her head.
“I still feel very uncomfortable going out into the world,” she continued, referring to that trying time as a working royal. “Now I feel happy that I can find the security I’ve been craving in this library.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle visited Colombia for four days from August 15 to 19, where they visited, toured and held events at various locations, after the couple received an invitation from the country’s Vice President, Francia Márquez. The couple participated in several activities related to “cyberbullying, online exploitation and the effects of these threats on mental health.”
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle began their visit to Colombia by heading to the vice president’s residence for coffee, tea and traditional pan de bono cheese bread before exchanging welcome gifts.
