Prince Harry has been awarded £140,600 in a High Court hacking claim against Mirror Group Newspapers, winning 15 out of 33 cases.

However, both Meghan and Harry are expressing their anger over the amount, considering it too little.

This is especially true when compared to Prince William’s £1,000,000 payout, which led to the prompt closure of News of the World.

In a historic moment, Prince Harry appeared in the witness box during his case against MGN, enduring nearly 8 hours of questioning.

He displayed visible emotion as he concluded his testimony.

Yesterday, a High Court judge ruled that MGN engaged in extensive phone hacking from 2006 to 2011, even during the Leveson Inquiry into media standards.

The Duke of Sussex was seeking damages from MGN, alleging that its titles, The Daily Mirror, Sunday Mirror, and Sunday People, were involved in unlawful interception, deception-based information gathering, and the use of private investigators for illicit activities.

He claimed that around 140 articles published between 1996 and 2010 by these titles contained information obtained through unlawful means.

Out of these, 33 were considered during the trial.

Harry’s lawyer, David Sherborne, acknowledged that Harry won the case but emphasized that it wasn’t a complete victory.

Before the trial, MGN offered to pay £200,000 in damages as they admitted to hacking Harry’s phone, although not as frequently as Harry claimed.

In contrast, Prince William received £1,000,000, which he donated to Invictus.

While Harry may see the £140,000 payout for 15 of the 33 cases as a win, it is important to note that his legal expenses are likely to far exceed this amount.

Deducting these costs from his initial loss renders the payout insignificant.

Nevertheless, this outcome does not overshadow the broader consequences, fallout, and the alleged lies and hypocrisy perpetuated by Harry and Meghan over the years.

As Harry cannot be sued for lying in court, he is effectively using the legal system to present his version of events.

By doing so, he can later leverage his own statements to shape the narrative and portray it as the truth.

It remains to be seen if the media will unite to expose them.

In a summary of his ruling, Mr. Justice Fancourt outlined his findings regarding Harry’s case against Mirror Group Newspapers.

The judge concluded that voicemail interception and unlawful information gathering were proven only in part.

He determined that 15 out of the 33 articles presented during the trial resulted from phone hacking or other illegal means of obtaining information from Harry’s mobile phone or those of his associates.

However, he noted that the extent of phone hacking was relatively limited and likely controlled by specific individuals at each newspaper.

This activity occurred between the end of 2003 and April 2009, which was the date of the last examined article.

The judge also highlighted that not all published content could be attributed to voicemail interception, as phone hacking was not the sole journalistic method employed at the time.

Upon careful analysis, Harry’s claims related to 18 other articles did not hold up.

Regardless of the monetary cost, Prince Harry may still perceive this outcome as a victory.

While he laments the hacking of his phone and the unauthorized gathering of private information by newspapers, he appears willing to share personal details about his family through books, interviews, and streaming shows.

This inconsistency raises questions about his double standards and hypocrisy.
