Prince Harry Triumphs in Landmark Phone Hacking Lawsuit Against UK Tabloid

Prince Harry has won a partial victory in his phone hacking claim against the Mirror Group, with a judge ruling that there was "extensive" hacking and that 15 out of 33 news articles submitted by Harry were the result of accessing his voicemail. The court awarded Harry £140,600 ($180,000) in damages. The judge stated that phone hacking was widespread and habitual at the Mirror Group, with senior managers aware of and covering up the practice. Harry called for criminal charges to be brought against the publisher and for an investigation to be launched. Mirror Group Newspapers apologized for historical wrongdoing. Piers Morgan, former editor of the Daily Mirror, has not yet commented on the judgment. This is the first of several lawsuits Harry has brought against British tabloids.

The Complicated Persona of Prince Harry: A Media Analysis.

Prince Harry has denounced "disturbing" stories in the Mirror Group's U.K. titles, but has revealed private details about members of his family, including his niece Princess Charlotte, in his best-selling book. The memoir was the fastest selling in history and its dramatic revelations reached a global audience of millions via news stories and social media posts, in addition to the record-breaking sales figures. His words, therefore, may well have reached an audience far larger than the U.K.- focused newspapers he is criticizing.

Prince Harry's legal claim against the Mirror Group of newspapers for unlawful activities to gather stories about him between 1991 and 2011 is being criticized by the publisher's lawyer, who says evidence of phone hacking allegations is "slim to utterly non-existent." Harry is one of many high-profile figures suing the Mirror Group for alleged phone hacking, deception, and other illicit means of obtaining stories. He is also suing publishers of the Daily Mail and The Sun for similar past alleged offenses and the British Home Office over the level of taxpayer-funded personal security he believes he is entitled to claim.
