Meghan Markle Shares Hosting Habits and Family Rituals at Godmothers Bookstore Livestream

Her appearance doubled as community support and brand building with As Ever wine poured on-site and a teased Oct. 28 update.

Overview

  • Markle told the Summerland, California audience her go-to is greeting guests barefoot with an apron because it “demystifies” the host and draws people to the kitchen.
  • She favors warm cider or a hot toddy on the stove with self-serve drinks and background music, and she travels with a portable speaker and a scented candle to recreate a home mood.
  • At the dinner table, she and Prince Harry use a nightly “rose and thorn” check-in with Archie, 6, and Lilibet, 4, and the family reaches for a gifted “healing blanket” for comfort when unwell.
  • After the talk, she served guests Sauvignon Blanc from her As Ever label and posted a “Save the Date 10.28.2025” for As Ever, with details of the announcement not yet specified.
  • A brief onstage moment drew notice when Markle adjusted Courtney Adamo’s microphone so she could be heard, which the pair quickly laughed off before continuing.
