In a promotional video for a 60 Minutes Australia exclusive airing on Sunday, Markle claimed he found out about the birth of his granddaughter over the radio. 
No phone calls, he tells reporter Tom Steinfort.
Markle said he still didnt know why his great relationship with his daughter broke down. He acknowledges he made one dumb mistake, but said hed apologised for it. 
Markle said he hadnt spoken to his daughter since May 2018, two days before Meghan got married to Prince Harry. 
Hes hoping the birth of the couples second child last week would help mend the rift.
Ill be very disappointed that I dont get to hold my granddaughter.

The teaser ended with Markle saying: “You want dirty laundry? This is the first time I’ve ever discussed these things.
It comes just two weeks after Steinfort sent tongues wagging in New Zealand over a dramatic 60 Minutes teaser video asking whether New Zealand had “ditched” its trans-Tasman neighbours for China.
