The bad news came to him last Friday, when a judge at the High Court in London ruled against him in a case that he himself had initiated. Payment must be made before December 29.
In February 2022, the British newspaper Mail on Sunday published the article titled "How Harry tried to keep his legal fight over bodyguards a secret", where it reported that Prince Harry had initiated legal action against the British Home Office for having denied him security during your visits to the UK.
According to the article, Meghan Markle's husband's team had not made requests to the corresponding bodies or the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures, known as Ravec.
Due to this article, Prince Harry sued the publishing group Associated Newspapers Limited, owner of the aforementioned media, considering that the note was "fundamentally inaccurate" and dealt with sensitive issues about the safety of his family.
In its defense, the newspaper asserted that the article conveyed a "sincere opinion" about the subject and asserted that it did not inflict significant damage to the reputation of the monarch. Furthermore, the newspaper claimed that the media advisors of Lady Di's youngest son had attempted to sway the narrative of the story. They found this ironic, given that the Prince currently holds a position in a Silicon Valley company dedicated to "combatting misinformation in the online world."
The judge's resolution, finally, was that the newspaper had “a real perspective” so he ruled against Prince Harry and in favor of the media group in charge of the Mail on Sunday, bringing direct consequences against Meghan Markle's husband.
Now, the High Court in London has ordered the Duke of Sussex to pay £48,000, equivalent to more than $60,000, by December 29 to the Mail on Sunday in legal costs.
Prince Harry has asked the British Ministry for protection on countless occasions during his visits to the United Kingdom, which have been denied since he renounced the crown. Because of this, Meghan Markle's husband has had to resort to private security paid out of his own pocket.
