It was inspired by a poem she wrote as a Father’s Day gift to Prince Harry after their eldest child, Archie, was born and captures the special bond between fathers and sons.
“While this poem began as a love letter to my husband and son, I’m encouraged to see that its universal themes of love, representation and inclusivity are resonating with communities everywhere,” a statement from the Duchess reads on the Archewell Foundation site.
“In many ways, pursuing a more compassionate and equitable world begins with these core values. Equally, to depict another side of masculinity – one grounded in connection, emotion and softness – is to model a world that so many would like to see for their sons and daughters alike. Thank you for supporting me in this special project.”
