Harry and Meghan have been faced with intense scrutiny since they made their bombshell announcement they were resigning as senior royals after just 20 months of marriage.

The couple have been in Canada ever since with their son Archie where they have been staying at a mansion on Vancouver Island. 

Markle, who has never met Harry or Archie, has given a series of bombshell media interviews in recent weeks. 

He has said previously that speaking publicly about their rift is now his best and only hope of a reconciliation. 

In the special, Markle said that despite their public feud he wished the best for his daughter and her family. 

‘I hope that they stay together and love each other and take care of their child, my grandson,’ he said

‘Even if I never see them again I wish them the very best. I still love them. 

‘I hope that some day we do get back together but I’m 75 so there isn’t a lot of time.’

The hour-long special is expected to include interviews with more than a dozen people who have ties to Harry and Meghan. 

It will also focus on the moves Harry and Meghan have made to move into the entertainment world now they have stepped down from royal duties. 

Among those interviewed in the special are: DailyMail.com’s editor-at-large, Piers Morgan, Ryan Seacrest, Dr. Phil, Mark Cuban and Lisa Vanderpump. 

Seacrest compared the couple to the Kardashian family and the reality television empire they’ve built. 

‘I think that the Kardashian family has built extreme interest in their lives. Obviously there’s massive interest in Harry and Meghan,’ Seacrest said. 

‘I know the Kardashians made a pact with the family when they started out on this journey to be open and honest and show the good the bad and the tough to the public.

‘Whether Harry and Meghan want to do that, need to do that or have decided to do that remains to be seen.’

Markle has not spoken to his daughter since the eve of her wedding to Harry in May 2018.

He has previously said his health has faltered since they became estranged and, while he admits his media interviews will upset Meghan and Harry, he still hopes they will be reunited.

Markle has also agreed to be a witness and face his daughter in court to expose what he claims are lies about him.

Meghan is suing a newspaper for publishing a personal letter she sent to him in August 2018.

She has accused the newspaper of breaching her privacy, her data protection rights and her copyright when it published extracts.

Her father has already given lawyers previously unseen text messages that reveal the breakdown of the relationship between father and daughter.

Harry & Meghan: The Royal Crisis airs on Wednesday, January 29 (8-9pm ET/PT) on FOX.
