‘We had a good life together, up through her first marriage and her move to Canada. Then a new story begins. It’s like “What happened to my daughter?”.
Mr. Markle, who lives in Mexico, said he hoped the film could be ready by the end of the year. In a documentary on Channel 5 last year, Mr Markle detailed his relationship with his daughter.
Meghan lived with her father between the ages of 11 and 18 and Mr Markle said he paid school fees and college tuition. But he said their relationship was recalled after he was unable to attend her wedding in 2018 after undergoing emergency heart surgery.
Mr Markle said he had never met Archie’s grandson and had only learned that his daughter was pregnant when he heard it on the radio.
Mr Markle says his relationship with the Duchess of Sussex was remembered when he was unable to attend the wedding.
He accused the couple of saying ‘trashy things’ about it and said he thought his relationship with Meghan had been damaged outside of repairs.
In the film, Thomas Markle: My Story, he said he was embarrassed and disappointed by Meghan and Harry ‘s decision to step down from their duties as sovereigns.
He said they had a ‘duty’ to represent the Royal Family and said their new freedom to enter into commercial contracts to make money was threatening the reputation of the royals.
Harry, 36, and Meghan have signed contracts to produce programs for Netflix and podcasts for Spotify as part of their new life in Los Angeles.
The contracts were signed as part of their new life with his son Archie in Los Angeles, after they decided to retire from royal duties last year.
