The Duke of Sussex and other household names could have to pay millions of pounds out of their own pockets to cover the costs of their failed legal action against the publisher of the Daily Mail. The court heard there was a shortfall between their insurance cover and ANL’s costs which are more than £34 million. Nicholas Bacon KC, for the group of claimants, said that Mr Justice Nicklin should not award ANL their costs on the stricter, indemnity basis. The barrister added that the group of seven household names have obtained insurance cover of a combined £16.2 million. Mr Bacon said: “At that level of cover, the claimants would reasonably expect to be insured for the total of Associated’s incurred costs and approved estimated costs.
