Transmits to UNN with reference to DW.
Details
Harry, 40, the youngest son of Britain's King Charles, has reached a settlement in his legal battle against News Group Newspapers (NGN).
Harry's lawyer said that the agreement was reached after NGN agreed to pay significant damages and admitted that Harry, the youngest son of Britain's King Charles, was the victim of illegal media activity and had his phone hacked.
For reference
News Group Newspaper (NGN) is affiliated with the publisher of The Sun, a company owned by tycoon Rupert Murdoch.
Official statement
Harry's lawyer, David Sherborne, read a statement in court, noting the following:
Following negotiations between the parties, at a hearing this Wednesday (22.01.2025) in the ongoing litigation in this case, NGN offers a “full and unequivocal apology to the Duke of Sussex” for years of unlawful intrusion. This refers to the serious interference by The Sun in Prince Harry's private life between 1996 and 2011, including cases of illegal activities carried out by private detectives working for the British tabloid.
