Prince Harry has won his phone hacking lawsuit against the publisher of the Daily Mirror, with the court awarding him over £140,000 ($180,000) in damages. The High Court found that phone hacking was "widespread and habitual" at Mirror Group Newspapers, and executives were aware of the practice and covered it up. This is the first of several lawsuits against British tabloids to go to trial in Prince Harry's battles with the press, and he hopes it serves as a warning to other news media that engage in similar practices.

Prince Harry's Awkward Presence at King Charles' Coronation

Harry and his wife, Meghan, left royal life and moved to the U.S. in 2020 after complaining about intense scrutiny and racist attitudes from the British press.
