Prince Harry's high-stakes battle against the Daily Mail teeters on collapse after a High Court judge delivered a blistering warning: drop the case or face ruinous legal bills potentially exceeding £38 million.
Justice Matthew Steyn, presiding over the phone-hacking and privacy lawsuit, lambasted the spiraling expenses as "manifestly excessive," urging the Duke of Sussex to "reconsider his position before catastrophe strikes".
The dramatic rebuke came during a heated hearing where Harry's barristers demanded Mail editors' internal emails. Steyn shot back: "Costs have ballooned to unsustainable levels. Victory is far from assured; defeat means Mr. Sussex foots the entire bill." Already £10M deep since 2023, Harry's war chest strains amid Montecito empire woes—As Ever tanks, Netflix wobbles.
Harry, dialing in from California, looked "visibly shaken," sources say. This echoes his Mirror Group win but underscores Mail's fortress: deeper pockets, sharper lawyers. Earlier rulings forced Harry disclose witness payments, sparking "pay-to-play" jeers. Piers Morgan gloats: "Karma for Spare—fold now!".
