Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are making a strong impression on their New York trip.

The couple paid a visit at P.S. 123 Mahalia Jackson School in Harlem on Friday. They were also joined by N.Y.C. Schools Chancellor Meisha Porter. In the session with the kinds, Meghan also read them her children's book titled The Bench.

"I wrote this when we just had our little boy, and I haven't read it to any other kids but you!" she told them.

Meghan dedicated her book to "the man and the boy who make my heart go pump-pump."

She also shared that she wrote the book for "the idea of representation ... [when you're able to say,] 'That looks like me!' ... I wanted everyone to be included in this book."
