Meghan, 39, has not seen her father since before her wedding to Prince Harry.
Markle, a retired Hollywood lighting director, said Sunday in the documentary The Sun: “It starts with my life, my family, my love of theater and television and how I got there.
“Then my life with Meghan, when I grew up, the school days until she went to college and when she started her career.

The documentary, which could be released this year, will feature invisible images and videos of the Duchess of Sussex
“We had a good life together, through their first marriage and their move to Canada. Then a new story begins. It’s like, ‘What happened to my little girl?’
Markle, who lives in Mexico, said he expected the film to be ready by the end of the year. Last year, in a Channel 5 documentary, Markle detailed the breakdown of his relationship with his daughter.
Meghan lived with her father between the ages of 11 and 18 and Markle claimed she paid him school fees and college tuition. But he said their relationship worsened after he was unable to attend his wedding in 2018 after emergency cardiac surgery.
Markle said she had never met her grandson Archie and had only learned that her daughter was pregnant when she heard him on the radio.

He accused the couple of saying “strange things” about him and said he believed his relationship with Meghan was damaged unrepaired.
In the film, Thomas Markle: My Story, said he was embarrassed and disappointed by Meghan and Harry’s decision to retire from their royal duties.
He said they had an “obligation” to represent the royal family and said their new freedom to make business deals to make money runs the risk of endangering the royal family’s reputation.
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 agreements were signed as part of her new life with her son Archie in Los Angeles, following her decision to leave royal duties last year.
