Meghan Markle writes £12.99 children's book called 'The Bench' about relationship between fathers and sons that was inspired by a poem she wrote for Harry after Archie was born - and is illustrated with pictures of a red-headed soldier
- Duchess of Sussex, 39, said the book - released June 8 - would explore 'special bond between father and son'
- She said the title 'started as a poem I wrote for my husband on Father's Day, the month after Archie was born'
- Illustrations included a red-headed soldier holding his son while a crying woman gazes out of a window
- Fellow Royals Sarah, the Duchess of York, and Princess Michael of Kent, have also written children's books
'My hope is that The Bench resonates with every family': Meghan's full statement promoting the book
Meghan Markle will have already been paid £500,000 for children's book, claims branding expert
A branding expert has suggested Meghan Markle's children's book would've already netted her £500,000 following a 'bidding war to secure her first venture'.
Popular culture expert Nick Ede told FEMAIL that the Duchess of Sussex would've likely been paid between a £250,000 to £500,000 advance to write the book.
He also claimed the duchess' 'smart move will ensure she makes millions', following a likely 'slew of sales from first editions, to then the downloads of the audio book narrated by Meghan herself'.
It is not known if Meghan has received an advance for the book and whether any of the proceeds will be donated to charity.
In authoring a children's book she follows in the footsteps of fellow royals Sarah, the Duchess of York, who has produced her own money-spinning series, and Princess Michael of Kent.

Nick said: 'This is a very smart move from Meghan in many ways – she's done the deal as herself not as a couple – this is very much her thing.
'Children's books are highly lucrative, and with the publisher being Random House, there will have definitely have been a bidding war to secure her first venture into kids books.
'There will be a slew of sales from first editions to then the downloads of the audio book narrated by Meghan herself. This is the perfect package if building one's brand – write it, own it, narrate it – you get a piece of every part of the pot.
'This smart move will ensure she makes millions. Translate this book into other languages and she'll have a world-beating best seller on launch.'
Other royals to turn to writing books include the Prince of Wales, who wrote a children's book called The Old Man Of Lochnagar in 1980. He went on to pen books about gardens, architecture and the environment. He also has a book of his own paintings and drawings. Most recently, he co-authored the Ladybird Expert book.
Queen Rania of Jordan is the author of four children's books, including The Sandwich Swap which was based on her childhood and made the New York Times' bestseller list.
Princess Michael of Kent is the author of seven books, including three non-fiction titles (all royal-related), and the Anjou Trilogy, three historical novels set in 15th-century France.
The Earl of Snowdon is author to three books on furniture and one on interior design - his specialist subject as founder of bespoke furniture company Linley.
