A book apparently signed by Meghan Markle and dedicated to Princess Eugenie, the daughter of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, has been put up for sale on eBay for more than $26,000 "or best offer." The book is a first edition of "The Bench," the Duchess of Sussex’s children's book published in 2021, which was inspired by the relationship between Prince Harry and their son, Archie. In photos shared by the seller—described as a London-based professional bookseller specializing in signed and inscribed books—there is a dedication reading: "2021. Dear Eug & Jack, celebrating the special bond between father and son.
I wrote this poem at Frogmore - I hope that Eug. you witness the same love there with you guys. All love, Megh." Frogmore cottage is a smaller residence on the grounds of Windsor Castle that served as the Duke and Duchess' home from 2019 to 2020, before the couple left the United Kingdom to relocate to the United States. Princess Eugenie moved into the cottage in November 2020 and left in 2022 after Harry and Meghan decided to renew their existing lease to occupy the property to March 2022.
The couple officially vacated the cottage in 2023, when they were well-established in California. The book is being sold for £19,999, the equivalent of roughly $26,426. The product has been viewed more than 16,000 times as of early Friday morning.
Newsweek contacted representatives for the Duchess of Sussex and Princess Eugenie for comment. This is a developing story.
