A picture of the book has been posted online today ahead of its publication on June 8.

It shows a watercolour picture by award-winning artist Christian Robinson of a bench under a tree surrounded by birds.

The mum-to-be’s pen name given as: “Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex”.

She will also narrate an audiobook of the tale, which is published by Random House Children’s Books.

Meghan said: “The Bench started as a poem I wrote for my husband on Father’s Day, the month after Archie was born. That poem became this story.

“Christian layered in beautiful and ethereal watercolour 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 make up, as much as it does with me.”
