Prince Harry and others ordered to pay £9.5m after failed privacy case

Prince Harry and six others, including Elton John, were ordered to pay £9.5 million to the Daily Mail's publisher after losing their privacy case in London. The High Court ruled the claims of unlawful information gathering were not proven. The payment is due by August 28, with total costs over £34 million. The judge criticized the case as speculative and granted costs on an indemnity basis. This ends Harry's legal battles against tabloids, following a previous win against Mirror Group and a settlement with The Sun.
