Meghan Markle revealed she ‘felt uncomfortable being out in the world’ when she was a working royal and ‘craved safety’ in a speech at Oprah‘s book event.

The Duchess of Sussex, 43, attended her friend Oprah’s book club session at the Godmothers bookstore in Summerland, located just a few miles from where she lives in Montecito, California, on Saturday.

The mother-of-two, who wore a £315 jumpsuit by Club Monaco, was pictured sitting in the front row before taking to the stage to briefly address the group, where she spoke about the solace she has found in bookstores.

According to Town & Country, the Duchess detailed going to a bookstore during her trip to New York in 2019 – when Meghan’s A-List pals threw her a baby shower at one of the most expensive suites at The Mark Hotel in Manhattan.

The Duchess said: ‘For me, sneaking to New York five years ago was a really big deal.
