He said: “I think it’s wonderful, I’m very delighted. I think they’re a very good match, I’m very happy for them, Meghan and Harry.

“I love my daughter very much — Harry’s a gentleman.”

The video, obtained by The Sun, shows Mr Markle expressing his desire to be left alone after giving his opinion on Meghan’s future husband.

The woman who shot the video, in Rosarito, Mexico, said the father had complimented her daughter previously before answering her question.

“I didn’t know who he was when he first stopped to talk, he just seemed to be a friendly neighbour.

“I have since learned who he is because he became the latest gossip in the area. He’s always very friendly.

Meghan Markle’s father previously declared he would “love to” walk his daughter down the aisle on her big day with Prince Harry.

The Suits star and her father appear to have come a long way after it was revealed last year that the two were “not on the best of terms” after a video from Meghan’s teenage years came to light.

She said: “We’re about four minutes from my dad’s house.

“From dad’s house, you can see the Hollywood sign.

“I’d like to stop and see if I have any mail, but let’s just say I doubt it.”

Thomas Markle split from Meghan’s mother, Doria, in 1988.

It read: “Happy Father’s Day, daddy. I’m still your buckaroo, and to this day your hugs are still the very best in the whole wide world.“Thanks for my work ethic, my love of Busby Berkeley films and club sandwiches, for teaching me the importance of handwritten thank you notes, and for giving me that signature Markle nose. I love you xo – Bean.”
