Prince Harry Forced to Pay $62,000 in Legal Costs to Mail On Sunday Publisher

Prince Harry has been ordered to pay nearly £50,000 ($62,800) in legal costs to The Mail on Sunday after his attempt to have part of the newspaper's libel defense thrown out was rejected by the judge. The Duke of Sussex is suing the newspaper's publishers, Associated Newspapers, over an article about his fight for better security arrangements. If a settlement is not reached, the libel trial will be held between May and July next year. Harry is currently involved in several legal actions, including another case against Associated Newspapers, which can proceed to trial.
