Meghan Markle's newest Archie-inspired venture

Meghan Markle is an actress, entrepreneur, royal member, L.A. mum and now she is a children’s author.

The royal has written her first book, inspired by Prince Harry and their son, Archie.

Titled The Bench, Meghan tells the story of the bond that eternally lives between a father and his son.

So far, book published Penguin Random House UK has released the cover and two inside pages.

In the book, featured are a diverse group of dads and their growing boys who connect by enjoying the pleasures life has to offer.

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.

She went on to say, “Christian layered in beautiful and ethereal watercolour illustrations that capture the warmth, joy and comfort of the relationship between fathers and sons from all walks of life.

“This representation was particularly important to me and Christian and I worked closely to depict this special bond through an inclusive lens.

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

The Bench, which costs $24, will be released June 8.

Prince Harry and Meghan share one child together, Archie, who turns two on May 6.

The couple are set to welcome their baby girl during the warm summer months.
