Hugh Grant Settles Illegal Snooping Lawsuit Against The Sun for 'Enormous Sum'

Actor Hugh Grant settled a lawsuit against The Sun tabloid, alleging unlawful phone tapping, car bugging, and home intrusion, receiving "an enormous sum of money" to avoid potentially hefty legal fees. Grant, who previously settled a case against News of the World for phone hacking, stated that he settled reluctantly and would direct the money to groups advocating for a free and accountable press. The settlement comes after Justice Timothy Fancourt rejected NGN's attempt to dismiss the lawsuit, and leaves Prince Harry and 41 others scheduled to go to trial in January.

"Privacy Lawsuit Settlements: Hugh Grant's Legal Battles and Prince Harry's Risky Move"

Actor Hugh Grant has settled a lawsuit against Rupert Murdoch's tabloid newspaper, The Sun, over claims of phone tapping and burglary. Grant, known for films like "Love Actually" and "Notting Hill", has been a vocal advocate for press reform. The settlement raises questions about the sustainability of the tabloid's long-held position of denying any wrongdoing. While Grant expressed a desire for his accusations to be tested in court, he cited concerns about potential legal fees and accepted the settlement. Meanwhile, Prince Harry's lawsuit against the tabloid continues, with allegations of a cover-up involving Murdoch still pending.
