Prince Harry Wins Big in Lawsuit Against Mirror Group Newspapers
Prince Harry has triumphed in a legal battle against Mirror Group Newspapers (MGN) over what he claimed was ‘unlawful information-gathering,’ including phone hacking. The judge ruled in favor of Harry, awarding him $180,000, stating that 15 of the 33 articles were a result of phone hacking or other unlawful means.
Though he couldn’t be present for the verdict, Harry’s lawyer shared his response outside the courthouse. Harry emphasized that the case was not just about hacking but revealed a pattern of unlawful behavior and cover-ups.
He acknowledged the challenges in seeking justice and the personal toll on his family.
Despite facing defamatory stories and intimidation during the five-year legal battle, Harry deemed it a ‘worthwhile price to pay’ for the greater mission.
He called for a responsible and honest press, emphasizing the need for accountability.
While Harry finds the ruling ‘vindicating and affirming,’ he believes there is more to be done. He urged authorities to investigate and bring charges against MGN for breaking the law.
MGN responded, apologizing for historical wrongdoing and expressing a commitment to moving forward.
This victory is part of Harry’s ongoing legal battles, with three pending cases against other newspaper publishers. Stay tuned for updates on this important issue.”
