Prince William Received Large Settlement from Murdoch Empire Over Phone Hacking, According to Prince Harry's Lawsuit
- Prince William got a "very large sum" in a 2020 settlement from Rupert Murdoch's News Group Newspapers over phone hacking claims, according to Prince Harry's lawyers.
- Prince Harry revealed his brother's settlement in an attempt to argue that his own lawsuit against NGN for alleged phone hacking and other illegal news gathering practices should not be thrown out.
- NGN claims that Harry's lawsuit should be dismissed because he waited too long to bring the case to court.
- Harry's lawyers argued that Harry did not pursue legal action sooner due to a "secret agreement" between the royal family and NGN to delay claims until other phone hacking litigation concluded.
- Harry called NGN "criminals" who have lied under oath, while NGN denied any wrongdoing.
