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.
Prince Harry is set to discover the financial burden of a lost lawsuit against the Daily Mail on Friday, according to court proceedings. The judge Matthew Nicklin will determine how many millions of pounds the claimants, including Harry, King Charles' son, and others must contribute towards the media company's legal costs. The case was dismissed by Judge Nicklin, who found that the claims were unsubstantiated.
The Daily Mail published articles alleging widespread unlawful activities, such as phone hacking, which the court deemed baseless. Associated Press, the Daily Mail publisher, incurred a legal bill of £34.5 million, while the claimants only had insurance coverage for £16 million. The publication seeks an interim payment of £10 million from Harry and the others, while they have offered £8 million. The court's decision follows Harry and his family's relocation to Britain from California.
