Prince Harry Secures Historic Apology from News Group Newspapers Over Privacy Violations

Lisa Sean Published January 22, 2025

Prince Harry has achieved a landmark victory in his ongoing battle for media accountability, as News Group Newspapers (NGN), the publisher of The Sun, issued a “full and unequivocal apology” for unlawfully intruding into his and his late mother Princess Diana’s private lives. This apology acknowledges the distress caused by the invasion of privacy, which impacted Harry’s relationships, friendships, and family.

In addition to the apology, NGN has agreed to pay substantial damages to the Duke of Sussex. This settlement represents a significant step in Harry’s fight against unethical media practices, with the Duke claiming that his mother, Princess Diana, may have been one of the earliest victims of NGN’s unlawful information-gathering tactics, including the hacking of her communications.

The apology, issued 27 years after Diana’s tragic death in a Paris car crash, is accompanied by a compensation agreement and a reported £10 million in legal fees for both sides, as reported by the BBC. Harry’s lawyer, David Sherborne, described the resolution as a “monumental victory,” highlighting its importance in holding the press accountable for their past actions.

The settlement was reached just over 24 hours before the case was due to go to trial, surprising NGN with Harry’s swift decision to settle. This apology marks a key moment in Harry’s continued effort to safeguard his family’s legacy and confront the lasting damage caused by intrusive media practices.
