Prince Harry Ordered to Pay Over $60K in Legal Fees to Daily Mail Publisher

Libel Case Over Security Arrangements to Proceed to Trial in 2024

Prince Harry has been ordered to pay over $60,000 in legal fees to the publisher of the Daily Mail, Associated Newspapers Ltd., after losing part of a libel case.
The case revolves around an article that suggested Prince Harry tried to hide his efforts to retain publicly funded protection in the U.K. after stepping down as a working royal.
Justice Matthew Nicklin ruled that the publisher has a 'real prospect' of showing that statements issued on Harry’s behalf were misleading and that the article reflected an 'honest opinion'.
The libel trial, expected to last three to four days, will be scheduled between May 17 and July 31, 2024.
Prince Harry is also involved in other lawsuits against British tabloid publishers over claims they used unlawful means to dig up dirt on him.
