The Duke of Sussex and six other high-profile claimants must make a £9.54m interim payment by 4pm on 28 August towards the Daily Mail publisher’s legal costs after losing their high court case over allegations of unlawful information gathering, a judge has ruled. Associated Newspapers Ltd strongly denied the claims made by Prince Harry and co-claimants including Doreen Lawrence and Elton John. Mr Justice Nicklin dismissed all the claims last month after an 11-week trial in London earlier this year.

The court has been told that ANL’s total costs were more than £34m.
