Details
The 40-year-old Harry, the younger son of British King Charles, has reached a settlement in his legal battle against News Group Newspapers (NGN).
Harry's lawyer stated that the agreement was reached after NGN consented to pay substantial damages and acknowledged that Harry, the younger son of British King Charles, had been a victim of illegal media activities and had his phone hacked.
For reference
News Group Newspaper (NGN) is associated with the publisher of The Sun: a company owned by media mogul Rupert Murdoch.
Official statement
Harry's attorney, David Sherborne, read a statement in court noting the following:
After discussions between the parties, at a hearing this Wednesday (22.01.2025), in the ongoing lawsuit related to this case, NGN offers "full and unequivocal apologies to the Duke of Sussex" for years of unlawful intrusion. This concerns serious invasions of Prince Harry's privacy by The Sun from 1996 to 2011, including instances of illegal activities conducted by private investigators working for the British tabloid.
