Prince Harry’s Long Fight Against Media Intrusion
11 years ago, it came out that Prince Harry was a victim of phone hacking by News of the World.
The royal family discouraged him from suing, but he changed his mind after getting legal advice from David Sherborne, a lawyer experienced in phone hacking cases.
Instead of settling quietly, Prince Harry went to court and won judgments against Mirror Group Newspapers.
This helped him show how tabloid reporters invaded his privacy. Even though his payout wasn’t the highest, it still showed that he was serious about holding the media accountable.
Some people think he settled too easily, but Prince Harry insists he’s focused on changing media culture, not just getting money.
His ongoing battles with other newspapers show he’s committed to making things right. While phone hacking has become less common, Prince Harry believes there’s still work to be done to stop media intrusion.
