This rich superstar might come to Prince Harry's rescue: sources
Key Points:
- Prince Harry experienced a tumultuous UK visit, including a public retraction of an invitation to stay at Buckingham Palace and losing a privacy lawsuit against Associated Newspapers Ltd, potentially facing up to $20 million in legal fees.
- The legal costs may be covered by supporters who funded the case, including the estate of Max Mosley and campaign group Hacked Off, with speculation that Elton John, a close friend of Harry's late mother Princess Diana, might also assist financially.
- Harry and Meghan Markle's financial situation is under strain, with high security costs, mortgages on their $14.5 million California home, and a reduction in income following the loss of a major Netflix deal, while Markle's lifestyle brand remains limited in scope.
- Despite the legal setback, Harry maintained public appearances promoting the Invictus Games and reunited with King Charles and Queen Camilla at Highgrove House, though he did not meet with his brother Prince William during the visit.
- The court ruled against Harry and co-claimants, stating there was insufficient proof of unlawful information gathering by the press, and the litigation insurers may withdraw coverage, increasing the financial burden on Harry and other claimants.
