According to the radio this morning it was only £140600 which doesn’t seem a lot for a multimillionaire. Presumably he will get his legal costs back too.
I guess it’s not a lot to himself but it’s a lot to me.

Piers Morgan clearly annoyed and accused Prince Harry and the Duchess of planning to destroy the monarchy. When William is King, I doubt that will happen.
Me too but it is peanuts to him.
Harry is still fifth in line to the throne though isn’t he?

Prince Harry will have to pay more than £48,000 in legal costs to the publishers of the Mail on Sunday, after losing part of a libel battle. It follows a failed attempt by his lawyers to strike out part of a defence against a libel claim he is bringing against the newspaper. The libel claim itself can still go ahead to a trial, to be heard between mid-May and the end of July next year.
The dispute relates to an article about Prince Harry’s security arrangements. The Mail on Sunday article had discussed changes to the prince’s publicly funded security that had happened after he had stopped being a working royal and had moved to the United States. In this long-running libel case, the prince has claimed the story falsely suggested he had “lied” and “cynically” tried to manipulate public opinion.
The headline said the duke had “tried to keep his legal fight with the government over police bodyguards a secret”, but that his “PR machine tried to put a positive spin on the dispute” after the story broke.
The prince’s lawyers had sought to throw out Associated Newspapers’ defence, arguing it had “no real prospect of success” - but in a ruling last week, the judge rejected this, saying that the case should go forward to a trial. Mr Justice Nicklin said the newspaper group’s argument that this was “honest opinion” had a “real prospect” of successfully defending the case. He also said there was a real prospect of the newspaper proving its side of a dispute over the timing of when Prince Harry first offered to make a private payment towards the cost of his police protection.
The libel claims will now be decided in a trial, expected to last three to four days. The costs in this part of the case, £48,447 to be paid this month, will be only a small fraction of the overall legal costs.
You win some, you lose some … 
Indeed, King Henry and Queen Meghan. 
The Duke of Sussex will receive a “substantial” payout for the remaining claims in his phone hacking case against Mirror Group Newspapers (MGN), his barrister told the High Court.
MGN will pay all of Prince Harry’s legal costs, beginning with an interim payment of £400,000.
In December, the duke was awarded £140,600 in damages after winning 15 claims against MGN.
The new settlement relates to unlawful intrusion claims on 115 more stories.
I doubt that we will ever know the exact amounts but I’m guessing £millions … good for Harry …
