It’s been a busy week for Meghan, Duchess of Sussex. Just four days after the birth of her daughter, Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, the actress-turned-royal’s children’s book, The Bench, has been released.

Hitting physical and virtual shelves on Tuesday, the book was written by Markle and illustrated by artist Christian Robinson. It is accompanied by an audiobook narrated by the duchess.

The story is about the relationship between a father and son, inspired by her husband Prince Harry and their son Archie, 2, and features an illustration of the pair holding hands.

A preview of the book’s inside cover, featuring the illustration of Prince Harry and Archie, was shared by US photographer Gray Malin, who was gifted an advance copy by the former Suits star’s office.

Markle announced she was to release a children’s book last month.

“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,” the duchess said when revealing the book.

“My hope is that The Bench resonates with every family, no matter the make up, as much as it does with mine.”

Not without controversy, the move has seen the Los Angeles-born duchess accused of plagiarism, as many on Twitter were quick to point out the similarities between the title, artwork and even storyline of UK author Corrinne Averiss’s 2018 book The Boy on the Bench.
