Media: Prince Harry and other celebrities have to pay millions in fines to "Daily Mail" publisher
The third trial against a British publishing house is ending in disappointment for the British prince and other celebrities. Now they have to cover enormous legal costs.
Prince Harry, Elton John and five other claimants have been ordered to pay 9.5 million pounds in legal costs to Associated Newspapers, the publisher of the Daily Mail, after losing their lawsuit. The payment, due by August 28, is approximately 11.1 million euros. The claimants had accused Associated Newspapers of invading their privacy and unlawfully obtaining information, alleging that Daily Mail headlines were based on illegal methods such as phone hacking.
The lawsuit was dismissed by the High Court in London on July 7 due to lack of evidence. Associated Newspapers reports total legal costs of around 34 million pounds.
