Meghan Markle has written her first children’s book in honor of her husband Prince Harry and their firstborn Archie.
"Duchess Meghan has written her first children’s book, The Bench, about the special bond between father and son-as seen through a mother’s eyes," Omid Scobie, royal editor of Harper’s Bazaar and "Finding Freedom" author tweeted on Tuesday.
"It’s out June 8 and is inspired by Prince Harry and Archie’s close relationship," he shared. "The book is illustrated by Christian Robinson."
Scobie also noted that the Duchess of Sussex will narrate the audiobook.

"'The Bench’ started as a poem I wrote for my husband on Father’s Day, the month after Archie was born," said the 39-year-old in a statement, as quoted by Scobie. "That poem became this story. Christian layered in beautiful and ethereal watercolor 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 makeup, as much as it does with mine," the former "Suits" star added.
Amazon revealed that the book, aimed for ages 3-7, is currently available for pre-order.
