Prince Harry's failed legal bid against UK Home Office cost 'a lot of money'

Many people are “confused” as to why Prince Harry is not going to pay the sum of his failed legal bid against the UK Home Office, says writer and broadcaster Esther Krakue. “Usually it is sort of common for people that lose a law case to foot the bill of their defendants’ legal bills basically,” Ms Krakue told Sky News host Caroline Di Russo. “But I suspect it’s his right as a British citizen to contest any decision made by the Home Office and … I suspect that falls under kind of, legal aid – but it has cost the Home Office a lot of money. “I think what most people actually will think is he thought this case was, one strong enough to actually win and he thought it was important enough for him to take it all the way to court basically. “Half a million pounds, I mean if that’s what the Home Office spent, I suspect he spent probably double that on a team of private lawyers who ultimately it looks like gave him ill advice because he’s lost this case.”
