Moms pan Meghan Markle's attempt to 'reimagine fatherhood' in debut children's book: 'Nothing original'

Mothers and media analysts knocked Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle's debut children's book "The Bench" for serving to disrupt the traditional notion of fatherhood.

"I wanted him to just try something a little bit new and work in watercolor," Markle said. "And that was specifically because I just felt that when you talk about masculinity and you talk about fatherhood, it can often not come across with the same softness that I was really after for this book. And I just wanted this to feel almost ethereal and light and Christian was able to use that medium and create the most beautiful images." At least one of those non-traditional images of fatherhood include a father donning a pink tutu to match his son's fashion sense.
