Prince Harry seeks reimbursement for legal fees in privacy case

Prince Harry seeks nearly $2.5 million for legal fees from Daily Mirror tabloid.

Prince Harry's legal battle against British tabloid publishers continues, as his lawyer has asked a judge to order the publisher of the Daily Mirror to pay nearly 2 million pounds ($2.5 million) for a portion of the legal fees incurred in proving that his privacy was invaded by phone hacking and unlawful methods used to gather information about him.

Last month, Prince Harry was awarded 140,000 pounds ($178,000) in damages after the judge found that phone hacking was 'widespread and habitual' at Mirror Group Newspapers, with executives at the newspapers covering it up.
