California, October 23, 2025 – All eyes are on California tonight as Meghan Markle prepares to appear at an intimate literary evening with renowned author Courtney Adamo at the charming Godmothers Books in Summerland.
The event, which has already sold out, will feature thoughtful discussions, storytelling, and insights into Meghan’s evolving post-royal life. For those unable to attend in person, the bookshop confirmed that fans can still tune in via a live Substack broadcast.
Sharing the update on Instagram, the bookstore announced: “Today’s event is sold out—but you can join us live on Substack!” Meanwhile, Adamo expressed her enthusiasm on social media, writing: “Very excited about this event tonight at @godmothersbooks. Looking forward to seeing some of you there!”
Founded in September 2024, Godmothers Books has quickly become a beloved hub for readers, writers, and creative thinkers along the California coast. The independent bookstore gained early support from Oprah Winfrey and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, cementing its reputation as a cultural gem.
The store also carries a royal-inspired origin story. During a gathering to celebrate Prince Harry’s memoir Spare, he affectionately referred to the shop’s co-founders Jennifer Rudolph Walsh and Victoria Jackson, along with Oprah Winfrey, as his “fairy godmothers.” Inspired by the moment, Oprah suggested naming the store “Godmothers Books”—a title the founders embraced with delight.
Tonight’s sold-out event further reinforces the bookstore’s growing reputation as a space where stories, community, and creativity come together on the California coast.
