Prince Harry settles phone hacking claim with Mirror newspaper group | BBC News

Prince Harry will receive a “substantial” payout for the remaining claims in his phone hacking case against Mirror Group Newspapers (MGN), his barrister told the High Court. MGN will pay all of Prince Harry's legal costs, beginning with an interim payment of £400,000. In December, the Duke of Sussex was awarded £140,600 in damages after winning 15 claims against MGN, and the new settlement relates to unlawful intrusion claims on 115 more stories. The duke is one of several high-profile figures bringing claims against MGN, accusing the publisher of the Daily Mirror, Sunday Mirror and Sunday People of unlawful intrusion into their private lives for stories.
