Meghan Markle gave the first interview after a scandalous public conversation with Oprah Winfrey

Three months after the controversial conversation with Oprah Winfrey, which destroyed the relationship of the Dukes of Sussex with the royal family, 39-year-old Meghan Markle gave a new interview. Recently, the Duchess of Sussex spoke on NPR's Weekend Edition radio and talked about her new book, "The Bench," as well as shared details of family life.

She admitted that she was inspired to write the book by a poem she wrote to her husband Prince Harry in 2019, shortly after they first became parents. Megan noted that the main fan of her work was her two-year-old son Archie.

Archie loves a book. He's very book-hungry. Whenever we read him a book, he says, "More, more." Now we can tell him that Mom wrote it for him.,

- she noted.

The interview was recorded before the birth of the couple's second child, Lilibet's daughter Diana, so how the girl reacts to her mother's work is unknown .

The Duchess also admitted that on this Father's Day, which was celebrated in many countries yesterday, she gave her husband another touching gift — a bench.

I thought I just needed something sentimental and a place where he could spend time with our son. In this narrative, I observe this love between my husband and our son and imagine what it will be like when they have more moments in common as our son gets older. From a scraped knee to a broken heart, they will always rest on this bench, share these moments, and feel connected,

— No, " she said.

Megan added a lot of personal details and Easter eggs to the book.

If you dig around, you can find a lot of personal moments that we have hidden there-from my favorite flowers to my husband's mother's favorite flowers,

— No, " she said.

The Duchess also admitted that in the book she wanted to show "the other side of masculinity", which is based on connection and emotion.
