In a preview for TLC's Meghan and Harry: A Royal Baby Story, Larcombe, author of Prince Harry: The Inside Story, says: "I can't think for a moment that Thomas Markle will ever be able to meet his grandson or granddaughter."

Thomas and Meghan have had a notoriously tricky relationship after it was revealed he staged photos of himself preparing for her May wedding last year.

In the faked snaps he was seen reading a book on England and being measured up for a suit.

Since then he has made numerous public appeals for his daughter to contact him.

Also appearing in the documentary is Meghan's half-sister Samantha Markle.

She says: "You can't hurt people like this and then turn around and flip the script and play victim."

Samantha has previously suggested Meghan take a "lie detector test" after contents of a letter between her father and his daughter were revealed to the press.

Samantha said: “I would challenge her to take a lie detector test anywhere on the planet with investigators that are not paid by her to skew the results.

"Quite frankly I had faith in her on and off to do the right thing by her dad but I’m sick of the bulls***.

"Nobody is trying to get close to her but she’s not going to ghost, insult and destroy this family and skip on her merry way without the truth being revealed.”

Meanwhile, celebrity journalist Ashley Pearson told the documentary: "I don't think Meghan and Kate will ever be super good friends."
