Murdoch’s U.K.-based publisher of The Sun tabloid, News Group Newspapers, has agreed to pay “substantial damages” to settle Harry’s legal claim.

Rupert Murdoch’s U.K. tabloids have made a rare apology to Prince Harry in settling his privacy invasion lawsuit and will pay him a substantial sum.

NGN also apologized to the Duke for the impact on him of the "extensive coverage and serious intrusion into his private life as well as the private life of Diana, Princess of Wales."

Prince Harry’s trial against the publisher of The Sun has ended dramatically with an apology from the newspaper’s publisher for “serious intrusion” and unlawful activities over a 15-year period.

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.

The publisher of the Sun newspaper has agreed to pay "substantial damages" and apologised to the Duke of Sussex to settle a long-running legal battle over claims of unlawful intrusion into his life. Prince Harry alleged journalists and private investigators working for News Group Newspapers (NGN) used unlawful techniques to pry on his private life - and executives then allegedly covered it up.

The settlement comes after a High Court trial was due to start over claims of unlawful intrusion into the royal's life.
