Prince Harry's Landmark Phone Hacking Victory Sends Shockwaves Through UK Press

Prince Harry has won a partial victory in his legal battle against British tabloids, with a judge ruling that there was extensive phone hacking at Mirror Group Newspapers. The court awarded Harry $180,000 in damages and found that 15 out of 33 articles were the result of phone hacking or other unlawful information-gathering. The judge stated that the hacking was controlled by certain individuals at each newspaper and that the illegal conduct could have been stopped earlier. Harry's lawyers described the ruling as a "momentous win" and highlighted the systemic practice of unlawful behavior and cover-ups in the tabloid industry.
