Prince Harry, though absent from court, has expressed his deep anger towards The Sun and News of the World publishers.
What is striking about this case is how his allegations directly implicate the royal family.
It has now been revealed that the Prince of Wales had a hacking claim against the tabloids, which was settled in 2020 for a substantial sum of money.
This private claim has now been brought to light by his brother, Prince William.
The exact amount of money William received and the nature of his claim remain undisclosed.
Nevertheless, this revelation is significant as it demonstrates that Prince William, like Harry, strongly believed he had a case regarding phone hacking.
The difference lies in their approaches: while Harry was willing to present evidence in court, William opted for an out-of-court settlement.
Consequently, private and potentially sensitive information about William will remain undisclosed.
Equally significant is Harry’s allegation of a secret agreement between the royal family and the newspapers, authorized by the Queen.
Allegedly, this agreement aimed to prevent a repeat of the reputational damage caused by the Tampon Gate scandal, where an intercepted and leaked phone call between Charles and Camilla tarnished their image.
Harry also sheds light on the royal family’s wider strategy concerning the media, claiming that efforts were made to ensure public acceptance of his stepmother and father.
Furthermore, Harry claims that he was summoned to Buckingham Palace by his father and the late Queen’s private secretary.
Allegedly, they demanded he drop his phone hacking cases due to the potential impact on the entire family.
These revelations undoubtedly pose discomfort for the royal family, who would prefer not to have their private affairs discussed in court.
The timing is also less than ideal, with less than two weeks until the coronation.
