Prince Harry and six others face privacy case legal bill of up to £34.5m
Prince Harry and six co-claimants face a combined legal bill of up to £34.5 million following a privacy case, according to reporting by the BBC.
Why this matters: Legal costs at this scale show how privacy litigation can become a tool that only the very wealthy can afford to finish. Most people who have their privacy violated never see a courtroom at all. When the bill for pursuing accountability runs into the tens of millions, the system does not really offer a remedy — it offers a gamble. That is worth keeping in mind whenever privacy cases are held up as proof that the law works.
