TL;DR Summary

Prince Harry has emerged victorious in his legal battle against Mirror Group Newspapers (MGN) after a judge found the newspaper group engaged in extensive phone hacking and covered it up at a board level. The judge stated that senior executives and even in-house lawyers were aware of the illegal activity, which continued during the Leveson inquiry into phone hacking. Harry was awarded modest damages but emphasized that the trial was about holding the newspapers accountable rather than the money. Piers Morgan, former editor of the Mirror, was named by Harry, who recommended further inquiries by UK authorities. The verdict marks another win for Harry in his ongoing fight against the British tabloid press.
