Prince Harry and six other claimants face a combined legal bill of up to £34.5m after losing a privacy case against the publisher of the Daily Mail.
The group includes Sir Elton John and Liz Hurley. They have been ordered to make an initial payment of £9.54m to the publisher within the next seven days.
The initial sum forms part of the wider legal costs arising from the failed privacy case. The total amount payable by the seven claimants could rise to £34.5m.
No further details about the court’s findings or how the costs will be divided between the claimants were provided in the supplied material. The immediate deadline is the required payment of £9.54m within seven days.
