There’s a lot happening behind the scenes with Prince Harry and his legal fees, so much so that some sources, critics and even commentators are trying to ascertain what chunk of cash he may be on the hook for. But in a more recent account -- made by one US-based commentator, he truth might be pretty bad, and causing him to ‘sweat badly’.

The commentator in question who dropped this bombshell is none other than royal commentator, and the host of the YouTube channel Kinsey Schofield Unfiltered.

Ms Scofield dropped this, around three minutes into her interview with Scott Rouse.

According to her, and a lawyer friend of the Duke of Sussex, he “and the six are sweating badly.”

They even revealed, “their insurance only covered 11 million pounds. Even assuming the insurers do pay out without objecting, whereas the other side's costs are over 25 million pounds.”

Moreover, there’s also the fact that much of Prince Harry’s lawyers worked no- win, no fee agreement, which effectively means they worked for four years for free, since he lost that appeal.

“So, it's my understanding based on this, this is a very good source that I trust immensely, that Harry could have to pay a significant amount of money because he's lost this court case in the UK against the Daily Mail,” she added.

But that’s not where she concluded because his monthly and yearly expenses over something like private security were also brought up and to that end she said, “I think we might have talked about it in the past. Harry's current security in the United States and when he travels abroad, that costs him millions of dollars a year. I think that more is going out than is coming in.”
