Markle will be releasing her new book, titled The Bench, on June 8, which was inspired by a poem she wrote to her husband, Prince Harry, on his first Father’s Day as a dad to son Archie.

“That poem became this story,” the royal said in a press release, and she also gave her illustrator, Christian Robinson, credit for carving out her vision of Harry’s “special bond” with Archie perfectly.

“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,” she said.
