The couple’s joint foundation announced on Tuesday, that the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle is set to release a children’s book titled ‘The Bench’ inspired by her husband Prince Harry’s bond with their son Archie.
The book is expected to be out in the market on June 8 as Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, awaits the birth of her second child. It is illustrated by Christian Robinson.
“The Bench started as a poem I wrote for my husband on Father’s Day, the month after Archie was born. That poem became this story.”
Meghan said in a statement.
She futher said the book aimed to capture “the warmth, joy, and comfort of the relationship between fathers and sons from all walks of life.”
“My hope is that The Bench resonates with every family, no matter the makeup, as much as it does with mine.”
She added.
The couple’s firstborn Archie will turn two on Thursday. Last year, the couple quit the British royal family and moved to California.
During the explosive television interview they gave to Oprah Winfrey in March — in which they claimed an unnamed royal had asked how dark their baby’s skin would be — plunged the monarchy into a major crisis.
Meghan, a former actress, also told Winfrey she was “naively” unprepared for life as a royal and had contemplated suicide while pregnant with Archie.
Harry’s last visit to Britain was brief as he went to attend the funeral of his grandfather, Queen Elizabeth II’s husband Prince Philip.
