A UK court has ordered Prince Harry, Sir Elton John, Liz Hurley, and four others to pay the Daily Mail publisher an initial £9.54 million following their loss in a privacy case. The total legal bill could reach up to £34.5 million. The claimants had alleged phone hacking and other unlawful information-gathering practices by the publisher. The judge ruled against the plaintiffs, finding insufficient evidence to support their claims. The initial payment of £9.54 million is due within the next seven days. This ruling marks a significant victory for the Daily Mail and a setback for the high-profile individuals involved.
