Prince Harry has settled his lawsuit against News Group Newspapers, the Rupert Murdoch-owned company that publishes The Sun and previously published now-defunct News of The World.

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.

Murdoch’s U.K.-based publisher of The Sun tabloid, News Group Newspapers, has agreed to pay “substantial damages” to settle Harry’s legal claim.

Prince Harry settled his lawsuit against Rupert Murdoch's News Group Newspapers (NGN) over alleged unlawful information gathering, his lawyer said on Wednesday.

Prince Harry has settled with Rupert Murdoch's NGN and received an apology over The Sun and News of the World claims.

In a last minute deal made the day after the lawsuit was due to start, Murdoch’s News Group Newspapers agreed to pay “substantial damages” to Prince Harry and issued an apology, read by his lawyer David Sherborne, of the “serious intrusion by The Sun into his private life … including the unlawful gathering” of information on him.

Rupert Murdoch’s UK publishing business has paid out more than £1bn over the phone-hacking scandal and its subsequent legal fees, with the latest settlement involving Prince Harry reported to be at least £10m.

Prince Harry claimed a monumental victory Wednesday as Rupert Murdoch’s U.K. tabloids made an unprecedented apology for intruding in his life over decades and agreed to pay substantial damages to settle his privacy invasion lawsuit.

News Group Newspapers issued an apology to the Duke of Sussex for intruding into his life and that of his mother, the late Princess Diana.

Harry won an apology and damages from Rupert Murdoch’s U.K. tabloids. Could the lawsuit’s end also help heal the rift with his brother, William, and his father, King Charles III?

Harry received an unprecedented apology from Rupert Murdoch’s flagship U.K. tabloid on Wednesday, and previously won in a court judgment that condemned the publishers of the Daily Mirror for “widespread and habitual” phone hacking.
