express– Meghan and her husband Prince Harry visited a school in Harlem, New York city today where the Duchess will read her new children’s picture book, The Bench.

Meghan decided to leave her face mask on as she read her book for the group of students.
The Duke sat cross-legged on the floor surrounded by children as Meghan read the story.
The book, which was released in June, looks at the relationship between father and son from a mother’s perspective.
Meghan said the book idea began as a poem she wrote for Harry.
She said at the time: “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.”
“My hope is that The Bench resonates with every family, no matter the makeup, as much as it does with me.”
The book is 34 pages and includes illustrations by Christian Robinson.
