Summary
A London judge ordered Prince Harry and six other claimants to pay £9.54 million by 4 p.m. on Aug. 28 as an interim contribution toward Associated Newspapers Ltd's legal costs.
The payment follows their defeat last month in a High Court case accusing the Daily Mail publisher of unlawful information gathering after an 11-week trial earlier this year.
Mr Justice Nicklin dismissed all claims, while ANL had strongly denied the allegations throughout the case.
ANL told the court its total legal costs exceeded £34 million, underscoring the financial fallout from one of Britain's highest-profile media privacy lawsuits.
