Prince Harry Triumphs in Landmark Phone Hacking Lawsuit Against UK Tabloid
Prince Harry has won his phone hacking lawsuit against Mirror Group Newspapers, with the High Court awarding him over £140,000 ($180,000) in damages. The court found that phone hacking was "widespread and habitual" at the newspaper group, and executives were aware of and covered up the practice. This is the first of several lawsuits Harry has brought against British tabloids, as part of his mission to reform the media. He alleges that Mirror Group Newspapers used unlawful means to produce stories about him, causing emotional distress. The case highlights the issue of phone hacking by British newspapers, which dates back over two decades.
