The Duke of Sussex, Prince Harry, has reached a settlement with News Group Newspapers (NGN) regarding unlawful information gathering claims associated with The Sun. The resolution, described as a monumental victory by his barrister, involved NGN offering a full apology and substantial damages. Harry’s legal battle began in 2019 and follows similar claims settled by other public figures. Meanwhile, The Independent emphasizes its commitment to quality journalism accessible to all, underscoring the importance of ongoing support to fund its reporting, especially in pivotal issues like reproductive rights and political integrity.
Prince Harry was one of two remaining claimants, alongside the former Labour deputy leader Lord Tom Watson, who were due to take their claims over alleged unlawful information gathering against News Group Newspapers (NGN), which also ran the now-defunct News Of The World, to trial.
The settlement saw NGN, which denied any unlawful activity took place at The Sun, offer a full and unequivocal apology to both men and agree to pay them substantial damages.
