The Bench, which explores the bond between fathers and sons as seen through a mother's eyes, was released on Tuesday. Prince Harry and their 2-year-old son, Archie, make several appearances in the illustrations, but eagle-eyed fans noticed that the couple's second child wasn't left out. The book's final illustration appears to be inspired by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's lives in California, with Harry sitting on the bench feeding chickens with Archie.

Even the family's beloved animals were included: the scene shows their two dogs, a beagle named Guy and a black Labrador named Pula.

Harry, 36, said. They also shared they won't have any more children following their baby girl's arrival: "Two is it." In a May press release announcing the book, Meghan explained that the book was inspired by a Father's Day poem she wrote for her husband.
