The Telegraph was the latest outlet to savage Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle's new children's book "The Bench," with brutal commentary about the "semi-literate" offering from the Hollywood actress-turned British royal.

Markle dedicated "The Bench" to her husband Prince Harry and their son Archie, explaining that it was inspired by a poem she wrote for Harry's first Father's Day in 2018.

On one of the pages, a red-haired father meant to depict Prince Harry is seen playing with their son while Markle watches from inside their house.
