The documentary, which could premiere this year, will feature never-before-seen photos and videos of the Duchess of Sussex

“We had a great life together, thanks to her first marriage and moving to Canada. Then a new story begins. It’s kind of like “What happened to my little girl?”

Mr Markle, who lives in Mexico, said he hoped the film could be ready by the end of the year. In a Channel 5 documentary last year, Mr Markle detailed his relationship breakdown with his daughter.

Meghan lived with her father between the ages of 11 and 18 and Mr Markle claimed he paid her tuition and tuition fees. But he said their relationship deteriorated after being unable to attend his wedding in 2018 after undergoing emergency heart surgery.

Mr Markle said he had never met his grandson Archie and only found out his daughter was pregnant when he heard it on the radio.

He accused the couple of saying ‘trashy things’ about them and said he believed their relationship with Meghan was irreparably damaged.

In the movie, Thomas Markle: My Story, he said he was embarrassed and disappointed with Meghan and Harry’s decision to step down as royals.

He said they had an “ obligation ” to represent the royal family and said their newfound freedom to make trade deals to earn money risked damaging the reputation of the royal family.

Harry, 36, and Meghan have signed contracts to produce shows for Netflix and podcasts for Spotify as part of their new life in Los Angeles.

The deals were signed as part of their new life with son Archie in Los Angeles, following their decision to step down from royal duties last year.
