Prince Harry Receives 8-Figure Sum in Damages
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.
Prince Harry has received an eight-figure sum in damages after reaching a surprise settlement in his legal battle against the publisher of U.K. newspaper The Sun.
PEOPLE understands that the settlement involved an eight-figure sum, likely exceeding $12 million, covering damages in his case against the publisher over accusations of illegal information gathering by journalists and private investigators.
In a statement obtained by PEOPLE following the Jan. 22 settlement, which came after both sides reached an agreement before the trial in London officially began, NGN said they offer “a full and unequivocal apology” to Harry and confirmed they had agreed to pay him “substantial damages.” The settlement fell short of Harry winning an apology from named senior executives at the company and newspaper at the time of the allegations.
