Meghan Markle, Prince Harry and Archie celebrate double milestone this week
MEGHAN MARKLE and Prince Harry celebrate two very important days in their lives this week.
Meghan to release children’s book inspired by Harry and Archie
The Duke and the Duchess of Sussex are celebrating their son Archie’s second birthday on Thursday. The couple, who are expecting their second child, may already have plans for the special day or could chose to spend it at their Santa Barbara mansion.
Meghan can also look forward to the US celebration of Mother’s Day on Sunday.
Earlier this week, the Duchess announced she would be releasing a children's book based on the close bond of Prince Harry and Archie.
In a statement, the 39-year-old said she was inspired to write the book after penning a poem for her husband on his first Father's Day.
Puffin, an imprint of Penguin Random House Children's UK, confirmed Meghan’s debut book would be called The Bench.
The publication will feature colourful illustrations by award-winning artist Christian Robinson.
But the news caused controversy among royal fans, who took to social media platforms to express their opinions.
Some claimed the book would contradict Meghan’s desire for family privacy.
One user said: "Bringing attention to the internal dynamics of your own husband and son's relationship seems to counter the privacy requirements of this couple."

Another person added: "Think I agree that using the title Duchess of Sussex is in direct contradiction of what they wanted to do - stepping down as a royal and not wanting the publicity.
"Don’t think I like where this is all going and feeling played!"
Others highlighted how important the memories collected by the Duchess would be in Archie’s future.
One person tweeted: "I love this. Beautiful in every way.
"Archie will have these memories, long after he's grown with his own children. The story will continue for generations."
