Meghan reflected on feeling 'grateful' for her 'chapter of joy' as she spoke on the eve of Queen Elizabeth's death anniversary, marking two years since the monarch's passing.

The Duchess said: “I'm looking at this time as my chapter of joy. The more you are able to look at your life and really, truly recognize and be able to be grateful for your life - you have to be grateful for all aspects of it.”

“My intentionality is to enjoy this chapter and be able to love through every piece of this as best we can.”

The star-studded gathering included actor Marco Leone, astrology and psychology expert Dr. Jennifer Freed, and author, teacher, and psychic medium Laura Lynne Jackson, all of whom featured Meghan in their Instagram stories.

Godmothers, co-owned by literary agent Jennifer Rudolph Walsh, recently celebrated its grand opening with a series of events and celebrity discussions.

The bookstore seems to be showcasing several notable celebrity books, including Meghan's children's book, *The Bench*, and Prince Harry's memoir, prominently displayed on its 'hometown heroes' shelf.

Prince Harry, the son of King Charles, spent most of his life in the UK before relocating to the US with Meghan in 2020.

Meghan attended the event last night, just before the second anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II's death.

While it's unclear what the Duchess specifically said during her speech, the audience appeared captivated, with Jackson describing Meghan as one of the event's 'light-filled speakers.'
