Meghan Markle Shares Hosting and Parenting Rituals in Livestreamed Godmothers Bookstore Talk

The conversation with friend Courtney Adamo highlighted her new book, offering a window into Markle’s home routines and community connections.

Overview

  • On Oct. 23 in Summerland, California, Markle joined Courtney Adamo for a Godmothers Bookstore livestream moderated by co‑founder Victoria Jackson to discuss The Family Home.
  • Markle said she greets guests barefoot with an apron, keeps cider or hot toddies simmering for self‑serve drinks, and always plays background music to put visitors at ease.
  • She described nightly “rose and thorn” check‑ins with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, along with a gifted “healing blanket” the family uses for comfort when someone feels unwell.
  • Markle noted she turns on music first thing each morning and travels with a portable speaker and a scented candle to recreate a familiar atmosphere away from home.
  • After the talk, she served bottles from her As Ever wine line on the patio, and a brief moment where she adjusted Adamo’s microphone drew attention from viewers.
