Prince Harry's settlement with News Group Newspapers marks a major victory against illegal practices, specifically phone tapping by private investigators. The publisher's apology acknowledges serious wrongdoing, including destruction of evidence in past investigations. This case, which sought damages of over £10 million, also serves to vindicate other claimants who felt pressured into silence. Legal counsel David Sherborne highlighted the need for further investigations into perjury and cover-ups, asserting that accountability for such actions is finally a priority. More than 100 private investigators were implicated in unlawful activities spanning over 16 years.
Today the lies are laid bare. Today, the cover-ups are exposed. And today proves that no one stands above the law. The time for accountability has arrived.
After NGN spent more than a billion pounds in payouts and legal costs to prevent the full picture from coming out, News UK is finally held to account for its illegal actions.
