The hosts of an Australian television show have erupted in uncontrollable laughter watching a video of Meghan Markle reading her picture book The Bench.
Meghan was filmed reading the book, which was released in June, for the Brightly Storytime YouTube channel which often features famous authors reading from their books.
Part of the video was featured on Australia's Today show and the trio of television hosts can be heard laughing in the background.
"Sorry, it's very hard to keep a straight face," newsreader Alex Cullen says, to which co-host Ally Langdon asks: "Why is it difficult to keep a straight face, Alex? It's a lovely story."
"It is a lovely story," Cullen replies. "It's fascinating, fulfilling me in many, many ways I never thought possible."
The third host, Karl Stefanovic, then jumps in to say: "As we always say, pump-pump", a reference to a line in the book.
The trio then begins singing 'Pump up the Jam' by Technotronic, while snickering, laughing, and dancing in their seats.
According to publisher Random House Children's Books, the Duchess of Sussex's book was inspired by Prince Harry and Archie. It's the story of the relationship between a father and a son from the point of view of the mother.
"I wrote this as a poem for my husband and our son Archie, and then turned it into a book so you could enjoy it too," Meghan says at the start of the YouTube video.
