A High Court judge has ordered Prince Harry and six fellow claimants to begin paying millions in legal costs to the Daily Mail's publisher after ruling their failed hacking case was conducted in a manner "unreasonable to a high degree", a rare rebuke that could leave the group facing a bill approaching £50 million. Mr Justice Nicklin handed down the costs ruling on August 17, 2026, granting Associated Newspapers an indemnity costs order, a measure reserved for cases pursued improperly, and directing the claimants to make a first payment of £9,544,355 within seven days. The judge declined to cap the total amount the publisher can claim, and he found that the claimants had pressed serious criminal allegations against Mail journalists even…Open

What did Associated Newspapers claim regarding the purpose of the lawsuit?
Associated Newspapers' lead barrister, Antony White KC, described the lawsuit as part of a "coordinated media attack" known as Operation Bluebird, which was allegedly aimed at pressuring the British government into holding a second Leveson inquiry into press standards. The publisher's spokesman also described the judgment as a critique of an attempt to destroy a newspaper and the reputations of its journalists, editors, and executives.
Q&A ID 89783fab-59c7-449f-9bb0-f159b3f8368d
Why did Mr Justice Nicklin issue an indemnity costs order against the claimants?
The indemnity order was issued because the judge found the conduct of the litigation to be "unreasonable to a high degree," noting that the manner in which the claims were brought, pleaded, pursued, maintained, and publicly advanced took the litigation outside the ordinary and reasonable conduct of civil proceedings. Specifically, the judge found the claimants had pressed serious criminal allegations against Mail journalists even after the evidential foundation for those claims had collapsed.

How many allegations did the claimants bring in the legal action, and how many were upheld by the judge in his July 7 merits decision?
The claimants brought 97 allegations against the newspaper's reporters and editors, but the judge threw out every one of them in a 436-page decision, upholding zero charges of phone hacking, bugging, or information theft.
