SHE IS famously estranged from her own dad – but Meghan Markle appears to be keen to help others celebrate Father’s Day.
The Duchess of Sussex, 39, sent a gift along with a sweet message to author Matt Haig.
In a post on Twitter, the mental health campaigner revealed that the royal mum-of-two had posted him a copy of her new children’s book, The Bench.
Captioning images of the thoughtful present and accompanying note, he wrote: “Well this is nice.”
The duchess penned him a sweet message – that showed off her beautiful handwriting – which read: “Dear Matt, Happy Father’s Day! With love and respect from our family to yours… As ever, Meghan.”
Another note read: “With compliments of the office of The Duke and Duchess of Sussex.”
Haig’s pictures have received more than 4,700 ‘likes’ and over a hundred comments.
One person wrote: “This is lovely Matt, and also what beautiful handwriting.”
Another joked: “She’s a beautiful, strong woman and everything, but I think we can all see now that he married her for the handwriting, and fair play to him.”
A third shared: “Awwww I hope to get a letter from Meghan one day!! My daughter is obsessed with her!!”
And a fourth added: “That’s such a lovely gift.”
It’s not the first time the duchess – who based her new book around husband Prince Harry’s relationship with their two-year-old son Archie – has sent Haig a handwritten message.
In August 2019, she thanked him for being a “force for change”, after featuring his poem ‘A note from the beach’ in the issue of Vogue she guest-edited.
The duchess also revealed late last year, in her first Spotify podcast episode, that she is a fan of his books Notes On A Nervous Planet and Reasons To Stay Alive.
Tomorrow will be Duke of Sussex’s first Father’s Day with baby daughter Lilibet, who was born earlier this month.
His wife is understood to have not been in normal contact with her dad Thomas Markle since around the time of their 2018 wedding.
