Meghan Markle’s Speech at Godmother’s Bookstore Launch Met with Silence

Just when it seemed like the public had finally caught a break from Meghan Markle’s relentless quest for attention, she reappeared in the spotlight—this time at Oprah Winfrey’s exclusive book club event. As expected, the buzz wasn’t about the literature, because who really attends a book event to discuss books? Instead, all eyes were on Meghan and her attempt to remind everyone that she’s still relevant.

Rumor had it that Oprah had distanced herself from Meghan following their controversial 2021 interview, which sent shockwaves through the monarchy. Yet, there she was, making an appearance at Oprah’s gleaming new bookstore in Summerland, California. Critics were left scratching their heads, wondering why Oprah would invite Meghan, whose public speaking skills are often described as lacking depth.

To add to the controversy, Prince Harry’s memoir, *Spare*, was prominently displayed in the bookstore—a book that has generated more drama than an entire season of *The Real Housewives*. This was clearly another calculated PR stunt by the Sussexes, using literature as a pawn in their ongoing game of public relations. Because nothing screams “good literature” like endless victim narratives, right?

But the event wasn’t just about Meghan’s speech, if we can even call it that. The real entertainment came when Meghan decided to play a game of flirtation. Ever the attention-seeker, she was spotted sending serious flirtatious vibes towards none other than Victoria Jackson’s husband. And if flirting with someone else’s spouse wasn’t enough, Meghan was once again sporting one of her infamous shoulder-baring outfits. Whether she thinks it’s sexy is up for debate, but opinions are still divided.

Back to the speech—according to a poll by The Daily Mail, 87% of respondents felt Meghan is not a good speaker. However, public opinion has never stopped Meghan from grabbing a microphone and delivering vague platitudes. With Oprah continuing to support her, it’s clear that in Hollywood, it’s less about what you say and more about who you know.

Meghan announced she is entering a “chapter of joy” in her life during the event, which happened to fall on the eve of Queen Elizabeth’s death anniversary—a moment that might have been better suited for reflection. Instead, Meghan chose to use the occasion to stay in the headlines, making herself the center of attention in a room filled with actual spiritual leaders and astrology experts.

So, what’s the takeaway here? Meghan Markle’s grand return to Oprah’s orbit was less about the books and more about her never-ending quest for the spotlight. If this event proves anything, it’s that no matter how many times she’s knocked down by public opinion, she’ll always find a way to climb back up—with shoulders bared, flirtations in full force, and speeches as forgettable as ever.
