Duchess Meghan wrote a children's book about the relationship between fathers and sons.

Meghan was inspired for the book with the title "The Bench" by her husband, the British Prince Harry, and their son Archie, who will be two years old on Thursday.

The couple's foundation announced on Tuesday.

The children's book with illustrations by Christian Robinson will appear on June 8th.

“'The Bench' began as a poem I wrote for my husband on Father's Day, the month after Archie was born,” said the Duchess.

“This poem then became this story.” She wanted to capture “the warmth, joy and consolation in the relationship between fathers and sons in all areas of life”.

At the beginning of 2020, Prince Harry and his wife Meghan broke away from the British royal family and announced they would become financially independent.

They now live in California and are expecting their second child.

Since their retirement, they have broken new ground in their careers: the couple signed a multi-year contract with Netflix at the end of last year.

Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan would, among other things, produce children's shows and nature documentaries, the streaming service said at the time.

"As young parents, it is also important for us to develop inspiring family programs," they said at the time.

They also signed a contract with Spotify.

In December, they released their first lengthy podcast with other celebrities.

At the end of March it was also announced that Prince Harry had taken a job with a coaching company in the USA.

A few weeks ago, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex made international headlines with an interview with US star presenter Oprah Winfrey, in which, among other things, they raised allegations of racism against the royal family.
