Oprah Winfrey awkwardly interrupted Meghan Markle‘s speech at a bookstore opening in Montecito last weekend as she appeared to arrive late to the exclusive event to take her seat.
Journalist Elizabeth Holmes captured the moment the TV mogul stepped in front of her camera as she tried to record Meghan’s speech during the grand opening of Godmothers in the picturesque town in Santa Barbara.
In the clip, which Elizabeth shared on her Instagram, Meghan stood on a small stage and recalled the feeling of ‘safety’ she gets from being in a bookstore, when her neighbour Oprah walked into the room to take a seat in the front row.
Speaking about the incident on her Instagram stories Elizabeth said: ‘Meghan had just started speaking and I was really focused on filming that and Oprah was so discreet, so she was in the green room prepping for her panel and then she was seated while Meghan was speaking.
‘She came in so quietly that I didn’t even realise, I am sat there studiously filming and then all of a sudden it’s like Oprah right there, and she is like ”sorry” and I am like no you never need to say sorry. Anyway, surreal.’
The author of HRH: So Many Thoughts on Royal Style, captioned the video: ‘A little wave from OPRAH! (This was the second day of the @godmothersbooks opening weekend festivities.
‘Oprah had been in the green room, prepping for her part of the program, and was seated as Meghan was speaking. She slipped in so discreetly I didn’t realize it was her until she was right in front of me. So surreal!)’
Meghan and Prince Harry enjoyed an evening with ‘friends and family’ of literary agent Jennifer Rudolph Walsh and cosmetics star Victoria Jackson, who are the owners of Montecito’s local community bookstore.
