Prince Harry Reaches Settlement with Rupert Murdoch’s News Group Newspapers

The media group apologizes and agrees to a substantial payout over allegations of illegal privacy breaches spanning years.

Prince Harry and News Group Newspapers (NGN), owner of The Sun, reached a financial settlement to avoid a lengthy trial in London’s High Court.
NGN admitted to privacy violations, including phone hacking and illegal surveillance, and issued an apology to Harry for its actions between 1996 and 2011.
The settlement includes a significant financial payout, following similar legal actions by other high-profile figures against NGN over the years.
Harry has long criticized British tabloids, holding them partly responsible for his mother Princess Diana’s death and accusing them of unethical practices.
Though seen as a legal victory, critics argue the settlement undermines Harry’s stated goal of exposing systemic misconduct in the UK media industry.
