Author Defends Meghan Markle From Children’s Book Plagiarism Claims: ‘I Don’t See Any Similarities’

She agrees with that. After Meghan Markle’s recently announced children’s book drew comparisons to another 2018 title, author Corrinne Averiss has come to her defense via social media.

“Reading the description and published excerpt of the Duchess’s brand new publication, this is not exactly the same story or exactly the same theme as The Boy on the Bench,” Averiss tweeted on Wednesday, May 5. “I really don’t see any similarities”

“The Bench started as a song I wrote for my husband on Father’s Day, a month after Archie was born,” the Suits alum stated in a press release. That portrayal was particularly important to me, and Christian and I worked closely together to portray that special bond through an inclusive lens.”

Following the publication of this publication, online critics began to evaluate The Bench to Averiss’s 2018 publication, The Boy on the Bench, illustrated by Gabriel Alborozo.

“The playground is packed with kids he’s playing with, but Tom is sitting on the bench with his dad. He’s just not sure he’s brave enough to join in,” reads the writer’s description of The Boy on the Bench. “Tom can’t see a place for himself anywhere on the playground. On the slide, on the roundabout or on the swings… However, when a little girl loses her honey, will Tom have the courage to help?”

The short excerpts released from The Bench do not appear to be about the child characters’ relationships with other children, but rather their relationships with their own parents. In one instance, a boy greets his father, dressed in military uniform, while his mother watches from the window.

In another picture, the dad rests on a bench while his son rests on his torso. “I expect The Bench to resonate with every family, regardless of composition, just as it does with mine,” the duchess added in a press release.

In that March interview, which aired on CBS, the couple revealed that the child was female.

“If only we had a boy and a girl, what more could we ask for?” Harry pushed at that point. “We have our loved ones. We have, you know, the four of us along with our two dogs, and it’s great.”
