The Duchess said: 'I'm looking at this time as my chapter of joy. The more you are able to look at your life and really, truly recognise and be able to be grateful for your life - you have to be grateful for all aspects of it.
'My intentionality is to enjoy this chapter and be able to love through every piece of this as best we can.' 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.

Meghan's book The Bench, a picture book for children published in 2021, is also on the shelf. 'This is our local authors shelf when you first walk in,' she said of the display. 'I want it to be when you first walk in so that authors who are local to the area know that this is their hometown bookstore.

Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, are interviewed by Oprah Winfrey in March 2021 Oprah Winfrey was a guest at the 2018 wedding of Meghan and Prince Harry.
She is pictured arriving at St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle before the nuptials 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, in which the couple aired a series of very damaging allegations about the royal family.
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.
