Prince Harry has settled a court case against News Group Newspapers, securing a significant payout and a public apology for past intrusions.
London: So, Prince Harry just scored a big win in court! He’s set to get a hefty payout after settling his case against News Group Newspapers. This whole thing was about some serious privacy invasions that happened years ago.
Harry teamed up with Tom Watson, a former Labour deputy leader, to take on the publisher of The Sun. They were after justice for all the sneaky tactics used by journalists and private eyes to dig up dirt on them.
Originally, they were gearing up for a lengthy trial, but it got postponed so they could work out a deal. This means Harry won’t have to step into the courtroom and relive all that drama.
While the exact amount of the payout is hush-hush, it’s rumored to be between £10 and £20 million. Not too shabby, right?
Harry’s lawyer called it a “monumental victory,” and it’s a big deal because it shows that NGN admitted to some pretty shady practices. This isn’t just about Harry; it’s a win for others who felt pressured to settle without getting their stories heard.
In a statement, NGN apologized for all the trouble they caused Harry and even acknowledged the impact on his late mother, Princess Diana. They’re paying up for the distress and damage done over the years.
It’s a huge step for Harry, and it’s nice to see him finally getting some recognition for what he went through. Here’s hoping this brings him some peace!
