Meghan Markle was spotted in California with Prince Harry, wearing a dazzling $30,000 diamond necklace. The couple attended the launch party for Godmothers bookstore in Santa Barbara, and royal author Elizabeth Holmes shared a photo of them on her Instagram.
Godmothers was founded by author and entrepreneur Victoria Jackson and literary agent Jennifer Rudolph Walsh, who represented Oprah Winfrey, Glennon Doyle, and Brené Brown. In a post to the store’s Instagram account, Walsh said she wanted “the authors who are local to this area to know that this is their bookstore.”
The store celebrated its opening weekend with two days of festivities, and the duchess wore the necklace on both days, pairing it with a black Club Monaco jumpsuit on Saturday and a white tank top and trousers by Ralph Lauren on Friday. On Saturday, Meghan spoke for the crowd assembled, and according to the reports, she mentioned the feeling of safety she found in a West Village bookstore during a 2019 trip to New York City.
