Prince Harry’s High Court lawsuit against Associated Newspapers Limited (ANL) is expected to be heard in January 2026, with total legal costs expected to exceed £38 million.

The case, which involves several high-profile people in addition to the Duke of Sussex, was set a provisional trial date of January 14, 2026 by Judge Nicklin at a preliminary hearing on Tuesday.

Total legal costs for both parties are estimated at more than £38 million, with the plaintiffs’ costs at £18.4 million and ANL’s costs at £19.85 million.

Lady Doreen Lawrence was present at the hearing where these details were revealed.

The Duke of Sussex, 40, is part of a group including Sir Elton John, Baroness Doreen Lawrence, Sadie Frost and Liz Hurley who are filing the lawsuit.

The plaintiffs accuse ANL of carrying out or commissioning various unlawful activities.

These alleged activities include placing listening devices in cars and listening to private telephone conversations.

The group also alleges the publisher was involved in hiring private investigators, disclosing private records and ordering break-ins.

In Harry’s particular case, he claims the publisher targeted him by unlawfully hacking voicemails and tapping landlines.

He also accuses ANL of obtaining detailed phone bills and flight information about his former girlfriend Chelsy Davy.

ANL firmly rejects all allegations and describes them as “lurid” and “simply absurd”.

The publisher had previously tried to dismiss the lawsuit, saying it was brought “far too late.”

However, the judge ruled last November that the challenge could proceed.

Prince Harry attended a preliminary hearing for the case at the Royal Courts of Justice in London in March 2023.

Mr Justice Nicklin stressed the importance of progressing the case to trial, but noted that the January 2026 date remained a “target” that could change.
