Harry Pays Heavy Legal Bill | Calgary News

Prince Harry and allies face a massive legal bill after losing privacy lawsuits against the Daily Mail’s publisher, with an initial payment of over nine million pounds—nearly eighteen million Canadian dollars—to cover the publisher’s thirty-four million pound legal costs. The High Court ruling, delivered Friday, dismissed claims of phone hacking but ordered Harry’s camp to pay on an “indemnity basis,” meaning no proof of reasonableness is needed. Harry’s team called it a “complete and obvious whitewash,” while the publisher hailed it as a win for press freedom. This isn’t final—just an interim payment—and comes amid Harry and Meghan’s recent announcement they’re relocating back to Britain, where their children will attend school. Harry, who testified in court last year—the first royal to do so in over a century—has been locked in a long legal battle, including a separate apology from another publisher, News Group, over past intrusive practices.
