Prince Harry and six other high-profile claimants have been ordered to pay an initial £9.54 million in legal costs to Daily Mail publisher Associated Newspapers Limited after losing their High Court privacy case. The group, including Sir Elton John, Liz Hurley and Baroness Doreen Lawrence, had accused the publisher of unlawful information-gathering, allegations it denied. Judge Mr Justice Nicklin dismissed the claims in July, saying they failed to prove their case. The claimants must make the initial payment by August 28 and could face further costs. They have until October 2 to seek permission to appeal. (PC: BBC)
