Prince Harry has settled his lawsuit against Rupert Murdoch’s News Group Newspapers (NGN), owners of The Sun and the now-defunct News of the World. The settlement includes a substantial payout and a public apology for the unlawful activities conducted by the tabloids from 1996 to 2011. NGN admitted to serious intrusions into Harry’s private life, including phone hacking, surveillance, and misuse of private information. They also apologized for their intrusion into the life of Harry’s late mother, Princess Diana. The settlement amount, while not officially disclosed, is reported to be an eight-figure sum. This case is part of a broader issue, with NGN having already settled 1,300 other claims related to voicemail interception, costing them an estimated $1.2 billion. The settlement marks a significant moment in the fight against invasive tabloid journalism.
