Meghan Markle is using her new book to show Prince Harry's reaction to the loss of his military titles, according to a Royal expert. Per <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/14856510/meghan-markle-using-new-book-show-upset-harry-stripped-military-titles/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Sun</a>, Phil Dampier - who is the author of Royally Suited: Harry and Meghan In Their Own Words - alleges that <a href="https://vt.co/entertainment/celebrity/meghan-markle-is-publishing-a-childrens-book-inspired-by-prince-harry-and-son-archie" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Markle's as-yet-unpublished children's book</a> is her way of showing how upset Harry was to being stripped of his military status in the wake of the couple's retirement as senior members of the royal family. [[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/DionneGrant/status/1389591197753253890]] Dampier explains that the book's illustrations, which feature a red-haired soldier returning from duty to embrace his child, are visual metaphors symbolizing the importance of Harry's active service in Afghanistan. Dampier told <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/14856510/meghan-markle-using-new-book-show-upset-harry-stripped-military-titles/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Sun</a>: "Meghan is probably showing how much the Army meant to Harry and how upset he is to lose his military titles. "The Queen decided he could not be half in and half out of the Royal Family, and therefore he could no longer continue with his honorary associations, including being Captain-General of the Royal Marines." <img class=" wp-image-1263106360" src="https://img.vt.co/2021/05/Harry_Megan-1.jpeg" alt="Prince Harry and Meghan Markle." width="820" height="427" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: Alamy/Newsphoto]] He added: "For Harry, who put his life on the line and then founded the highly successful Invictus Games for injured servicemen and women, losing the titles was the bitterest part of 'Megxit'." Illustrated by Christian Robinson, The Bench is due to be published by Penguin Random House on June 8. Discussing the project in an official <a href="https://global.penguinrandomhouse.com/announcements/meghan-the-duchess-of-sussex-to-publish-the-bench-on-june-8th-with-rhcb/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">press statement</a>, Markle stated: "The Bench started as a poem I wrote for my husband on Father’s Day, the month after Archie was born. "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." <img class=" wp-image-1263106366" src="https://img.vt.co/2021/05/Meghan_Harry_Archie-1.jpeg" alt="Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

Mallory Loehr, a spokesperson for Penguin Random House Books' Young Readers Group, stated: "Meghan’s touching text explores the relationship between fathers and sons and undeniably tugs at the heartstrings that parents and caregivers feel. "Christian’s art beautifully matches the tender emotion of Meghan’s words, and every spread is infused with a vibrant sense of joy and love." <h6>Featured Image Credit: Alamy/Sipa US</h6>
