Meghan Markle makes publishing debut with children’s book The Bench

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,” Markle said in a statement from Random House Children’s Books. “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 book is the latest in a string of projects that the couple has taken on since officially leaving the Royal Family. Last year, they announced a multi-year deal with Netflix to produce original content including documentaries and feature films. Their first project will be a docuseries called The Invictus Games, an international sporting event for the wounded and veterans that Prince Harry founded.
