Markle accused of plagiarizing 2018 children’s book, but defended by author – fr


Meghan Markle’s new children’s book is already coming under fire ahead of publication – with online reviews accusing it of looking like a scam of another work already available in stores.

“Before you run out of money and waste money on Harry’s Wife’s Book, read ‘The Boy on the Bench’ by Corrinne Averiss and Gabriel Alborozo … The Original,” a twitter user wrote of apparent resemblance.

Dozens more quickly complained on Twitter that the Duchess of Sussex’s book ‘The Bench’ not only shared a similar title to the 2018 book by British author Averiss – but similar artwork as well. by Christian Robinson.

Many others have insisted that the screenplay – which Markle said “started out as a poem I wrote for my husband on Father’s Day, the month after Archie was born” – sounded too similar to be true.
