Prince Harry Ordered to Pay Legal Fees for Failed Court Challenge

Prince Harry has been ordered by a judge to pay nearly £50,000 ($60,000) in legal fees to the publisher of the Daily Mail tabloid for his failed court challenge in a libel lawsuit. The lawsuit revolves around an article that claimed Harry tried to hide his efforts to retain publicly funded protection in the UK after leaving his role as a working member of the royal family. The judge ruled that the publisher has a "real prospect" of showing that the statements issued on Harry's behalf were misleading and that the article reflected an "honest opinion" and wasn't libelous. A libel trial is scheduled to take place between May 17 and July 31.
