He also chastised Meghan for failing to contact their father, Thomas Markle Sr., after he was hospitalised after suffering a stroke.

On Monday, he discussed his thoughts on the GB News show.

“The Sussexes need to stick to rescue chickens in Motecito and stay out of politics,” he stated.

Meghan’s brother also mocked Prince Harry’s UN speech, in which he discussed climate change, the repeal of Roe v Wade in the United States, and the invasion of Ukraine.

He told, “You’re going to a memorial for Mandela at the UN building which is an open invitation to anybody in the general public and then you start talking world peace and politics which has nothing to do with anything there at that point.”

PSX rebounds over IMF programme reports

PSX closes lower over economic, political unrest

KARACHI: The Pakistan stocks market closed in the green zone, as the investors celebrated the news regarding the International Monetary Fund (IMF) representative, saying that Pakistan has met all prior actions for the review.

An analyst at Pearl Securities said that the market started the day with a dull sentiment amid political uncertainty as the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) announced the verdict regarding the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) foreign funding case.

“However, recovery was seen at the bourses right after the IMF representative said that Pakistan has met all prior actions for the review which will take place in late August. Additionally, the trade deficit narrowed 21 per cent to $2.6 billion in July 2022 with lower imports,” he added.

The Pakistan Stock Exchange KSE-100 shares Index gained 0.29 per cent, or 115.65 points, to close at 40,191.61 points. The KSE-30 shares Index gained 0.38 per cent, or 58.15 points, to close at 15,247.84 points.
