During the grand opening of a new bookstore named Godmothers in Santa Barbara, Meghan Markle's speech was unexpectedly interrupted by Oprah Winfrey, who arrived late to the event. Journalist Elizabeth Holmes captured the moment on video, where Meghan spoke about the bookstore providing a sense of 'safety' before Oprah quietly entered and sat in the front row. Holmes described the incident as surreal, noting she didn't realize Oprah was present until she was right in front of her. Meanwhile, Meghan is reportedly planning a celebration for Prince Harry's 40th birthday on September 15, which will take place in Montecito, California, away from family in the UK. The store's opening was supported by Meghan and Oprah, both of whom share a close friendship and a history together. The clip of the event has gone viral, illustrating the unexpected yet charming moment of the two celebrities at the intimate gathering.
