Harry Faces a £34 Million Legal Bill, Charles Is Angrier at William Than at Harry, the Courtier He Called 'The Wasp' Quits

HARRY FACES A £34 MILLION BILL AND MAY NEED A LOAN, CHARLES REPORTEDLY ANGRIER AT WILLIAM, AND THE KING'S MOST POWERFUL ADVISER WALKS

Mark Francis on the week the pieces finally moved. Prince Harry and six fellow claimants lost their unlawful-information-gathering case against the Daily Mail's publisher outright, and Associated Newspapers is now seeking costs of nearly £34.5 million on an indemnity basis — against £16.2 million of combined insurance cover. Mr Justice Nicklin, who called the figures unprecedented for a High Court media case, has ordered an interim payment by August 28. Plus: Sir Clive Alderton, the King's principal private secretary and the courtier Harry appeared to dub "The Wasp," is stepping down. Tina Brown reports Charles is more irritated with William than with Harry. And Kate speaks candidly about her own cancer treatment.
