PEOPLE understands that News Group Newspapers (NGN) has agreed to pay the Duke of Sussex an eight-figure sum in his case against the publisher

News Group Newspapers offered a “full and unequivocal apology” to Harry for the “serious intrusion” into his private life by the Sun between 1996 and 2011.

Rupert Murdoch’s News Group Newspapers gave Harry an “unequivocal apology,” admitting for the first time to unlawful activities at The Sun and agreeing to pay what it called substantial damages.

Prince Harry has settled his High Court privacy invasion case against the publisher of The Sun on what was due to be the first day of a weeks-long civil trial - in an "extraordinary" development.

The trial in the Duke of Sussex's legal battle against Rupert Murdoch’s News Group Newspapers (NGN) — the publisher of The Sun — over allegations of unlawful information gathering by journalists and private investigators working for NGN began in the High Court in London on Tuesday, Jan. 21.

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.

A legal battle brought by Prince Harry against the publisher of The Sun newspaper, owned by media mogul Rupert Murdoch, kicked off at the High Court in London on Tuesday, without Prince Harry in attendance and with several delays.

It could have been the court case of the year - with a British prince taking on a media king - but a landmark settlement has allowed News Group Newspapers (NGN) to narrowly avoid a trial. The reported eight-figure sum has been claimed as a monumental win for Prince Harry over Rupert Murdoch's press empire.

In 2023, Harry won a case against Mirror Group Newspapers over claims that his phone had been hacked with the knowledge of senior editorial staff, and he will be involved in another phone-hacking case next year, against Associated Newspapers, the publisher of the Daily Mail.

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.
