Prince Harry reached a settlement with Rupert Murdoch's News Group Newspapers, resolving accusations of unlawful information gathering. The company provided a full apology for hacking Harry's cellphone and intruding into his personal life, as well as acknowledging the distress caused, particularly regarding his mother, Diana, Princess of Wales. This settlement, occurring just before the trial was set to begin, relieved Harry of the financial risks associated with legal proceedings while avoiding damaging testimony against the tabloids for their past practices of invasive reporting.
We acknowledge and apologize for the distress caused to the duke, and the damage inflicted on relationships, friendships and family, and have agreed to pay him substantial damages.
The company also apologized for past intrusions by its journalists into the private life of Harry's mother, Diana, Princess of Wales, who died in a car accident in Paris in 1997.
