Earlier this week, we reported that Meghan Markle had written the children’s book “The Bench,” which she claimed was inspired by a poem she wrote for her husband Prince Harry for Father’s Day one month after the birth of their son Archie back in 2019.
Unfortunately for Meghan, however, a royal biographer of Harry’s is now speaking out to slam the book as “dull,” going so far as to say that it is not suitable for children.
“Children’s books are directed at children. They like elephants, they like nasty tigers. They do not want a lecture about how different your relationship is with your father, whatever level of society you are at,” said Angela Levin, author of “Harry: Conversations With The Prince,” according to Daily Mail.
“This is a book for adults, not for children,” she added. “Children are not interested in being told all of that. Also, it is a very dull cover.”
Royal expert Wesley Kerr also weighed in to discuss the Harry and Meghan are using for their new ventures, such as this book.
“Her title is that she is the Duchess of Sussex,” he said. “Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex” [the pen name Meghan has used for her book] is what a divorced person would use, so that’s quite interesting to use that title.”
“It is very interesting to see that in their many appearances, their titles are used,” he continued. “When Harry did an appearance [at Vax Live] this week it was Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex.”
In her interview, Levin later said that she feels it’s a shame that the royal family was not able to use up-to-date images of Prince Harry and Meghan’s son Archie to celebrate his second birthday.
‘I think it’s a real shame… that they haven’t got lots of pictures of him becoming a toddler,” she lamented. “I thought it was very sad because I think that whatever has happened, your family should be able to see the photograph of a child. Even if you don’t want them to have any influence whatsoever, that the one photograph is of him as a tiny baby.”
Levin then praised Prince William and Kate Middleton’s “brilliant” new media strategy after they launched their YouTube channel.
“I think it’s brilliant because, as we know, Prince William hated the press, based on how he believed they treated his mother,” she said. “I think Catherine has helped him over that by learning how to take photographs herself, putting the children out there clapping for the nurses and front liners.”
“So, she gives them a bit in the hope that they then leave them in peace,” Levin concluded. “And because they’re so charming and so natural, then people don’t want to hide behind a bush and take [photos] because the public wouldn’t like that.”
