The first children's book by Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, is a multicultural tribute to fatherhood.
"The Bench," a picture story published Tuesday 08 June 2021 by Random House Children's Books, celebrates the bond between Meghan's husband Prince Harry and son Archie and fathers and sons in general.
Markle's rhyming narrative is complemented by illustrator Christian Robinson's watercolour images, showing families of different skin colours and backgrounds, from a light-skinned soldier returning home (Harry served in Afghanistan) to a dark-skinned man in dreadlocks, from a boy carrying a soccer trophy to a boy and his father wearing pink tutus.
The book's jacket describes Meghan, the actor formerly known as Meghan Markle, as "a mother, wife, feminist, and activist," committed to "activating compassion in communities across the world.
