Prince Harry to learn how much failed Daily Mail lawsuit will cost
A London High Court judge rejected the case brought by Prince Harry, and six other British figures, dismissing claims of widespread unlawful activity by the Mail titles, including phone hacking.
On Friday, a judge will determine the extent of financial responsibility Prince Harry and others may face due to their loss in a high-profile privacy lawsuit against the Daily Mail publisher. The judge, Matthew Nicklin, will rule on how much claimants, including Harry, must pay towards Associated Newspapers' legal costs and whether they should adhere to an indemnity basis for covering the outstanding amount.
Associated has incurred a legal bill of £34.5 million, while Harry and the other claimants only have an insurance policy covering £16 million. The publisher is seeking an interim payment of £10 million, while Harry and the others have offered £8 million. The court's decision comes after the couple announced they would relocate from California to Britain this month, marking the end of their royal duties and public funding.
