Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, has emerged victorious in his court case against Mirror Group Newspapers, resulting in a substantial payout.

The London High Court ruled in favor of Harry, stating that out of the 33 articles presented in his phone-hacking lawsuit, 15 were found to be in violation.

The judge also acknowledged that the publisher had engaged in unlawful information gathering, making Harry a victim of their actions.

Following his successful legal battle, Prince Harry has been awarded £140,600 in damages for the High Court phone-hacking claim he filed against Mirror Group Newspapers.

The court also determined that extensive phone-hacking had taken place between 2006 and 2011, including during the Leveson Inquiry into media standards.

Notably, Prince Harry was not alone in his pursuit of justice.

Alongside 100 other individuals, including actors, sports stars, and celebrities, he accused the publisher of engaging in widespread unlawful activities from 1991 to 2011.

Their claims alleged that journalists and private investigators associated with the Daily Mirror, Sunday Mirror, and Sunday People tabloids had conducted phone-hacking on a massive scale, obtaining private information through deceptive means.

Furthermore, they accused senior editors and executives of being complicit in and approving of these actions.

Mirror Group Newspapers contested the claims, vehemently denying any knowledge or involvement in wrongdoing.

They argued that the lawsuits were brought forward too late, attempting to dismiss the allegations.

However, the court’s ruling has now validated the claims made by Prince Harry and the other plaintiffs.

During the trial, Prince Harry was chosen as one of the four test cases.

This selection allowed his case to serve as a representative example for the broader litigation, which commenced in May of last year.

In a significant admission, Mirror Group Newspapers previously confessed that they had instructed private investigators to unlawfully gather information on three of the test case participants, including Prince Harry himself.
