Princess Diana’s brother says she would have been ‘rightly proud’ of Harry after apology from The Sun - Earl Spencer said it was ‘wonderful’ Harry had ‘fought for – and gained an apology to his mother
Prince Harry's "mission" against the British press has resulted in a victory against Rupert Murdoch's the Sun, which has admitted to wrongdoing.
Prince Harry has settled his lawsuit against News Group Newspapers, the Rupert Murdoch-owned company that publishes The Sun and previously published now-defunct News of The World.
Prince Harry was one of two remaining claimants, alongside the former Labour deputy leader Lord Tom Watson, who were due to take their claims over alleged unlawful information gathering against News Group Newspapers (NGN), which also ran the now-defunct News Of The World, to trial.
Harry pulled the plug on a high stakes lawsuit against a Rupert Murdoch-owned British tabloid after receiving an apology.
Having previously said he wanted to see his case go to trial, the royal reached a settlement before an argument was even made in London’s High Court.
News Group acknowledged "phone hacking, surveillance and misuse of private information by journalists and private investigators" aimed at Harry. NGN had strongly denied those allegations before trial.
While few people have received an apology from a Murdoch-owned publication, Prince Harry now has. But if you think this is the end of the long legal saga, you may well be wrong.
Rupert Murdoch’s News Group Newspapers gave Harry an “unequivocal apology,” admitting for the first time to unlawful activities at The Sun and agreeing to pay what it called substantial damages.
The publisher of the Sun newspaper has agreed to pay "substantial damages" and apologised to the Duke of Sussex to settle a long-running legal battle over claims of unlawful intrusion into his life.
