In a London courtroom, Prince Harry and six co-defendants have been ordered to pay $13 million in initial damages after losing a privacy lawsuit — a verdict that turns the tables on a royal who has long positioned himself as a champion against media intrusion. The ruling, implicating seven parties in shared culpability, suggests the violation was neither minor nor isolated. As the case may yet yield further financial consequences, it raises a quiet but enduring question: in the pursuit of privacy, who bears the cost of crossing the line?
