Harry and others loss of this case seems fairly comprehensive. How much are costs likely to be, and who would be paying?

Harry loses every count of his civil case against The Mail. £50M legal bill for him and his fellow claimants.

Maybe he can start a GoFundMe?

The fact that it couldn't be proved doesn't mean that they weren't guilty.
The trial was not to find whether ANL was guilty or not.What the decision proves, on the balance or probabilities, is that DoS and his six co-plaintiffs made accusations they were unable to support. I would mention that if you suggest they were indeed guilty, the moderators will probably remove your post as it might be actionable.
I doubt those who think Dacre is a fine, upstanding member of the press are in the majority, but that doesn't mean he's liable.
"Prince Harry wrote a sad book which boasted about his killing of 25 Taliban, his drug-taking and, in cringe-making detail, how he lost his virginity. There isn't a laundry in the cosmos big enough to wash all the dirty linen he has aired about his own family. For him, to complain about HIS privacy being invaded takes, not just the biscuit, but the whole tin."
"'The Mail's famous front-page naming five thugs as Stephen Lawrence's 'MURDERERS', could have seen me jailed for contempt of court. Instead, it triggered the Macpherson Inquiry and the eventual jailing of two of the killers. Stephen's father, Neville, says he owes the Mail everything. Why Baroness Lawrence – for whom we have always had profound respect and sympathy – chose to turn on both the paper, and the brilliant reporter who campaigned for justice for her son for over two decades, is something I will never be able to comprehend."

Sounds like some people didn't read the details of the case or the judgment.
The case seems like it was brought by idiots and chancers, some too stupid to remember things correctly and others who gave the strong appearance of working hard to create the facts they wanted to suit their own ends.
One that was very odd was Doreen Lawrence chasing the Mail apparently based purely on things some of the other claimants had told her. Her ex-husband was very much prepared to give evidence for the Mail and Dacre given all they did to help push the case against Stephen's killers.
And Harry is just too thick and deluded to understand what happened. He thinks the judgment was a conspiracy against him, when the reality of it was he couldn't tell the difference between what's real and what's just in his head, and contradicted himself with his 'evidence'.
For once the Mail might have been completely in the right and I suspect it's going to get expensive for the other side.

From the Guardian"The claimants’ lawyers said their case had been hampered by a large number of documents from the era in question having gone missing, with invoices and emails deleted, destroyed or misplaced."
A bit late moaning now. If you don't have the evidence then don't bring the case. Were they expecting an out of court settlement and apology rather than the Mail rolling the dice with a trial?

Looks like some people had a lot of money to spend, and some people were perfectly happy to take it to tell them what they wanted to hear.
The legal team looked reassuringly expensive but seemed more about being flash than having solid talent. Judge didn't seem impressed by some of the noddy games.
