Prince Harry has settled his case against News International, avoiding a UK visit and the stress of a court appearance. What a relief!
London: So, Prince Harry just wrapped up his case against the publishers of The Sun. He was facing a tough time in court, but he managed to settle things out of court. That means no stressful testimony for him!
His lawyer, David Sherborne, announced the good news. Apparently, Harry stayed in California while all this was happening, which saved him from flying back to the UK. Smart move!
Now, News Group Newspapers, which used to run The Sun, denied any wrongdoing. But they did apologize to Harry for the phone hacking and other shady stuff that went down. Plus, they’re paying him some serious damages.
Lord Watson, who was also involved in the case, settled his claim too. The trial was supposed to kick off on Tuesday and last for ten weeks, but it never even got started. Talk about a last-minute save!
There were some delays and requests for adjournments, but the judge wasn’t having it. He said both sides had plenty of time to sort things out. It sounds like they were really close to a deal, though, with both parties agreeing on the importance of settling.
In the end, it looks like Harry dodged a bullet. No court drama for him this time around. What a relief for the Duke of Sussex!
