The Duchess of Sussex’s father, Thomas Markle, will make a documentary about his life, he revealed yesterday.
Markle, 76, said the film will feature unpublished home videos and photos of Meghan.
Meghan, 39, has not seen her father since before her marriage to Prince Harry.
Markle, a retired Hollywood lighting director, told The Sun on Sunday about the documentary: ‘It starts with my life, my family, my love of theater and television and how I got there.
– So my life with Meghan, growing up, her school days until she went to college and when her career started.

The documentary, which may premiere this year, will feature unpublished photos and videos of the Duchess of Sussex
‘We have had a good life together since her first marriage and moving to Canada. Then, a new story begins. It’s like ‘What happened to my little girl?’
Markle, who lives in Mexico, said he hopes the film will be ready by the end of the year. In a Channel 5 documentary last year, Markle detailed the breakdown of his relationship with his daughter.
Meghan lived with her father between the ages of 11 and 18 and Mr Markle said he paid her school fees and college. But he said their relationship went sour after he was unable to attend her wedding in 2018 after emergency heart surgery.
Markle said he never met his grandson Archie and only learned that his daughter was pregnant when he heard it on the radio.

He accused the couple of saying ‘useless things’ about him and said he believed his relationship with Meghan was damaged beyond repair.
In the film, Thomas Markle: My Story, he said he was embarrassed and disappointed by Meghan and Harry’s decision to step away from their duties as members of senior royalty.
He said they had an ‘obligation’ to represent the royal family and said that their new freedom to make business deals to earn money jeopardized the royal family’s reputation.
Harry, 36, and Meghan 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 his new life with son Archie in Los Angeles, following the decision to relinquish royal duties last year.
