Prince Harry gets a win in his lawsuit against Murdoch [View all]

Murdoch settled the lawsuit and issued a full apology, including Harry’s late mother Diana in the apology since she was also a victim of Murdoch’s illegal phone hacking. Murdoch and his papers launched a coordinated smear operation in retaliation against Harry and Meghan that’s lasted for years when he dared to take on the British tabloids. Hope the smear campaign now stops as well

As background, Murdoch has never issued an apology - not even after losing the $700 million Dominion case.


Prince Harry settles lawsuit with Rupert Murdoch's newspapers after 'full' apology
News Group Newspapers offered an “unequivocal apology” to the prince for serious intrusion into his private life, as well as that of his mother, Diana, Princess of Wales.

Snip

“After endless resistance, denials and legal battles by News Group Newspapers, including spending more than a billion pounds in payouts and in legal costs (as well as paying-off those in the know) to prevent the full picture from coming out, News UK [NGN’s parent company] is finally held to account for its illegal actions and its blatant disregard for the law,” Sherborne said.

Sherborne’s statement added that “Prince Harry and his immediate family have also had to repeatedly withstand aggressive and vengeful coverage since starting his claim over five years ago,” which he said had left them concerned for their safety.

“Today the lies are laid bare. Today, the cover-ups are exposed. And today proves that no one stands above the law,” he said.
