Prince Harry has secured a substantial settlement from News Group Newspapers (NGN) over alleged illegal phone-hacking practices. The settlement, believed to be in excess of $12 million, marks a significant victory for Harry in his long-running pursuit of justice against NGN, publisher of The Sun and the defunct News of the World.
NGN has issued a full and unequivocal apology to Harry for the relentless intrusion into his private life between 1996 and 2011, including the unlawful activities carried out by private investigators employed by the company.The apology also extends to Harry's late mother, Princess Diana, acknowledging the impact of the extensive coverage and intrusion into her private life, particularly during Harry's formative years. David Sherborne, the lawyer representing Harry and his co-claimant, former MP Tom Watson, hailed the settlement as a monumental victory. He stated that NGN's admission of illegal practices vindicates hundreds of other claimants who were pressured into settling without uncovering the full truth of what had been done to them.Sherborne criticized NGN's relentless resistance, denials, and legal battles, which included spending over a billion pounds in payouts and legal costs to prevent the truth from coming to light. He emphasized that this finally held NGN accountable for its illegal actions and blatant disregard for the law. Sherborne further called for a formal investigation into NGN by both the police and Parliament, urging them to examine not only the admitted unlawful activities but also the perjury and cover-ups that occurred throughout the process. He stressed that today's outcome exposes the lies, uncovers the cover-ups, and demonstrates that no one is above the law
