Prince Harry must be breathing the most bittersweet sigh of … relief? Satisfaction? Validation? It’s hard to say how exactly he’s feeling after his latest legal win, but we’re certainly glad he secured a slice of justice for his late mom Princess Diana.

In a last minute deal made the day after the lawsuit was due to start, Murdoch’s News Group Newspapers agreed to pay “substantial damages” to Prince Harry and issued an apology, read by his lawyer David Sherborne, of the “serious intrusion by The Sun into his private life … including the unlawful gathering” of information on him.

Prince Harry's "mission" against the British press has resulted in a victory against Rupert Murdoch's the Sun, which has admitted to wrongdoing.

Prince Harry was one of two remaining claimants, alongside the former Labour deputy leader Lord Tom Watson, who were due to take their claims over alleged unlawful information gathering against News Group Newspapers (NGN), which also ran the now-defunct News Of The World, to trial.

LONDON (AFP) — Prince Harry settled his long-running lawsuit Wednesday against Rupert Murdoch's U.K. tabloid publisher, which agreed to pay him "substantial damages" after admitting intruding into his private life, including by hacking his phone.

Having previously said he wanted to see his case go to trial, the royal reached a settlement before an argument was even made in London’s High Court.

News Group acknowledged "phone hacking, surveillance and misuse of private information by journalists and private investigators" aimed at Harry. NGN had strongly denied those allegations before trial.
