In a stunning victory for Harry, 40, the younger son of King Charles, News Group Newspapers (NGN), publisher of The Sun and the now-defunct News of the World, also admitted it had intruded into the private life of his late mother, Princess Diana.
Harry had been suing NGN at the High Court in London, accusing its newspapers of unlawfully obtaining private information about him from 1996 until 2011. The trial to consider the royal’s case, and a similar lawsuit from former senior British lawmaker Tom Watson, was due to start on Tuesday but following last-gasp talks, the two sides reached a settlement, with NGN saying there had been wrongdoing at The Sun, something it had denied for years. “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, including incidents of unlawful activities carried out by private investigators working for The Sun,“ Sherborne said.
ACCOUNTABILITY
Harry said his mission was to get the truth and accountability, after other claimants settled cases to avoid the risk of a multi-million pound legal bill that could be imposed even if they won in court but rejected NGN’s offer. He said the reason he had not settled was because his lawsuit was not about money, but because he wanted the publishers’ executives and editors to be held to account and to admit their wrongdoing.
