“Prince Harry has claimed a ‘monumental’ victory over Rupert Murdoch’s UK newspaper group, after it made an unprecedented apology for intruding into his private life for more than a decade. Harry, the younger son of King Charles, was suing News Group Newspapers (NGN), publisher of The Sun and the now-defunct News of the World, for unlawfully obtaining information about him between 1996 and 2011. … NGN agreed to pay Harry ‘substantial damages.’ It has now settled more than 1,300 claims – including with celebrities and politicians – without going to trial, spending more than 1 billion pounds ($1.24 billion) in payouts and legal fees.” (01/22/25)
