Prince Harry Wins Phone Hacking Case Against UK Tabloids | Entertainment


In a landmark victory for Prince Harry, a London court ruled in his favor in a lawsuit against Mirror Group Newspapers. The judge found sufficient evidence that the tabloid publisher engaged in unlawful information gathering, during its coverage of Harry. The ruling, the first in three lawsuits, awarded the royal around $180,000 in damages, stating that Harry’s phone was targeted between 2004-09. The civil suit is part of Harry and Meghan’s broader efforts to protect their privacy rights against British tabloids. The court decision marks a significant step in vindicating their stance, with Harry alleging them of instilling “paranoia in a young man”. The lawsuit revealed distressing personal details and raised questions about illegal information-gathering methods and hacking. Despite the absence of concrete evidence of phone hacking, the ruling supports Harry’s claims against media intrusion.
