Prince Harry settles legal case against UK tabloids

London : Britain’s Prince Harry on Wednesday settled his legal case against Rupert Murdoch’s News Group Newspapers (NGN), publishers of ‘The Sun’ newspaper, which offered a rare “full and unequivocal” apology to the now US-based Duke of Sussex and agreed to pay “substantial damages”.

Harry, the younger son of King Charles III, had brought legal action against NGN over allegations of unlawful information gathering by journalists and private investigators between 1996-2011.

“NGN offers a full and unequivocal apology to the Duke of Sussex for the serious intrusion by ‘The Sun’ between 1996 and 2011 into his private life’,” an NGN statement read at the High Court here.
