Prince Harry and his co-claimants may have to pay $13.3 million to the Daily Mail\u2019s publisher after he lost a privacy lawsuit earlier this month.<\/p>\n

Associated Newspapers Limited (ANL)\u00a0is seeking the interim\u00a0payment from the Duke of Sussex, Elton John, Elizabeth Hurley and other plaintiffs from the 2022 lawsuit, which alleged that the publication unlawfully obtained information about them, Reuters reported Wednesday.<\/p>\n

ANL\u2019s attorney Anthony White argued in court that his client\u2019s legal costs should be covered by the high-profile figures, starting with the advance payment until the court calculates the final amount owed.<\/p>\n

ANL claimed it spent more than $45 million on legal fees, but the claimants, including Harry\u2019s team, argued that it exceeded the approved budget.<\/p>\n

In a written submission, the claimants offered an advance payment of around $10 million instead of the requested $13.3 million, per Reuters.<\/p>\n

Additionally, they stated that they had insurance that could cover more than $21 million in legal fees.<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course, the (claimants) accept that their claims have been dismissed and \u200bit is appropriate that an order for costs on \u200bthe standard \u2060basis follows the event,\u201d\u00a0the submission reads.<\/p>\n

While the claimants accepted they should pay ANL\u2019s legal costs after losing the case, they argued that the interim payment sought and ANL\u2019s request for indemnity costs were excessive.<\/p>\n

Reps for Harry, 41, Hurley, 61, and John, 79, weren\u2019t immediately available to Page Six for comment.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Harry and the other claimants lost their 2022 lawsuit after an 11-week court battle.<\/p>\n

In the lawsuit, the claimants accused ANL of unlawfully obtaining information about them by placing listening devices in cars and homes, and using private detectives from the 1990s to 2011.<\/p>\n

Harry specifically accused ANL of targeting him through flight information, phone bills and tapping his phone. <\/p>\n

The claimants, however, were unable to provide sufficient evidence, and ANL vehemently denied the allegations against them.<\/p>\n

In a statement to Page Six, Harry and claimant Baroness Doreen Lawrence labeled the court\u2019s decision as \u201cwhitewashed,\u201d saying \u201cWe came to court seeking justice and accountability.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

\u201cThis judgment represents a complete reversal of the position which previous judges have taken in relation to the hacking claims successfully brought against both News Group Newspapers and Mirror Group Newspapers (who were represented by, at the time, the judge who made this decision),\u201d they continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cGeneric findings about various private investigators that were held by the courts in these parallel claims to have carried out unlawful activity at the very same time in relation to similar stories and well-known individuals have been wholly ignored.\u201d<\/p>\n

Harry and Lawrence also called out the court\u2019s \u201cinconsistency,\u201d saying it was \u201chard to understand or reconcile with common sense\u201d\u00a0after the evidence was dismissed.<\/p>\n
