That’s exactly what happened when Oprah Winfrey accidentally interrupted Meghan Markle at the grand opening of a new bookstore in Montecito, California, on September 7. As Meghan was eloquently sharing her thoughts on literature and community, Oprah, perhaps a bit too eager for a front-row seat, strolled in front of the camera, causing a moment of delightful chaos. Now, how’s that for an unexpected twist at a literary event? Grab your popcorn, folks. This story has all the right ingredients for both inspiration and unintentional hilarity! Oprah Winfrey caused a slightly awkward moment when she inadvertently interrupted Meghan Markle’s speech at a bookstore opening in Montecito, California, last Saturday (September 7) while looking for a front-row seat.
Journalist Elizabeth Holmes captured the moment on her phone when the famous TV personality walked into the event during Meghan’s remarks, unintentionally stepping in front of the camera as she tried to film the speech.
The grand opening was for the Godmothers bookstore, set against the charming backdrop of Santa Barbara.
In a clip posted to Instagram, Meghan stands on a small platform and talks about how she feels “safe” in bookstores, just as her neighbor Oprah entered the room quietly to sit in the front row.
“Meghan had just started talking, and I was focused on filming. Oprah was so discreet, she had been in the green room preparing for her part of the program,” Elizabeth explained.
