Meghan Markle is back in the spotlight, this time making sure a quick bookstore run becomes yet another carefully orchestrated photo opportunity. According to *People* magazine, Meghan brought her signature charm to Godmother’s Bookstore in Summerland, California. 

Of course, “charm” in this context means oversized hats, expensive accessories, and that all-too-familiar gaze into the camera.

On September 2nd, Meghan was spotted leaving Godmother’s, coincidentally dressed like she was heading for a beach photo shoot rather than running a quick errand. 

Sporting her usual look of Ray-Ban aviators, a massive straw sunhat, and a blue sweater, she also showcased her gold Cartier Juste Un Clou necklace, clearly on display for all to see—subtlety never being her style. 

But let’s not overlook the true star of this “spontaneous” outing: a $310 Anya Hindmarch keychain. Because who doesn’t need a designer keychain that costs more than a month’s worth of groceries, right? This whimsical little trinket, complete with its motivational “Take What You Need” message, screams relatability—if your pockets are lined with gold. Meghan made sure to show off the matchbook-shaped accessory, holding it at just the right angle as she exited the store, practically handing Backgrid their next paycheck.

Now, let’s pause to appreciate Meghan’s ongoing relationship with the paparazzi, specifically Backgrid. Yes, this is the same agency she blamed for the “near-catastrophic” car chase earlier this year. 

Yet, here they are again, perfectly positioned to capture Meghan’s best angles in a bookstore parking lot. Almost as if they got a heads-up, right?

If this scenario sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Meghan’s frequent trips to Godmother’s Bookstore have turned it into her go-to spot for attention, whether she’s flaunting a new outfit or a pricey accessory. 

Backgrid is always conveniently present, ensuring the public doesn’t miss a single moment. Some might even joke that she’s practically on the bookstore’s payroll, given how often these paparazzi walks are staged.

It’s hard not to find the whole situation a bit laughable. Meghan went from living in a palace and mingling with royalty to awkwardly posing with a phone, wallet, and keys in a California parking lot. Quite the downgrade. 

One can only assume that the latest viral video of Princess Catherine must have hit a little too hard for Meghan’s liking. What better way to distract from her sister-in-law’s success than with a well-timed photo op, complete with overpriced accessories?

And let’s not forget the real head-scratcher here: the $300 keychain. Who in their right mind needs a keychain that costs as much as a designer handbag? The answer, apparently, is Meghan. 

In a time when many people are struggling with rising living costs, flaunting a keychain that costs more than some people’s rent payments is, to say the least, a tone-deaf move. Maybe she thought this quirky accessory would make her seem more down-to-earth.

As if the $300 keychain wasn’t absurd enough, let’s talk about Meghan’s fashion choices. The giant straw hat, the ill-fitting sweater, and the ever-present Cartier necklace—none of it seemed to make sense together. It’s as though she’s trying to blend in, but the oversized accessories are screaming, “Look at me!” And let’s not ignore her constant eye contact with the camera, as if daring the world to call her out on this staged charade.

What’s next, Meghan? A designer shopping bag casually slung over your shoulder as you head to the local farmers’ market? For someone who’s so vocal about wanting privacy, Meghan seems to have no problem inviting the paparazzi into every aspect of her life—just as long as she’s controlling the narrative, of course.
