The Duchess of Sussex will follow in the literary footsteps of royal family member Prince Charles by writing a children's book.

According to The Sunday Times, the 38-year-old royal is reportedly considering a story inspired by her pet dogs. Meghan has an adopted beagle named Guy, and a labrador-shepherd mix named Bogart.

Guy joined the duke and duchess in Kensington Palace and then moved with them to their new home in Windsor Frogmore cottage, but Bogart had to remain in Canada where Meghan had been filming Suits due to his deteriorating health.

Back in 1980, Prince Charles wrote The Old Man of Lochnagar, which followed the adventures of an old man who lives in a cave by the Loch of Lochnagar.

Sarah Ferguson, formerly known as the Duchess of York, wrote Budgie the Little Helicopter in 1989, which had the famous catchphrase 'Rocketing rotors'.
