Prince Harry secured what he called a "monumental victory" over the publisher of The Sun, News Group Newspapers (NGN), after a settlement was reached to prevent the case from going to trial. The Duke of Sussex and Lord Tom Watson pushed NGN further than anyone had done before and were prepared to take on the media group in an eight-week trial.

Harry is one of two people, along with former Labour deputy leader Lord Tom Watson, suing News Group Newspapers.

At a three-day hearing, the High Court heard that a “secret agreement” was reached between the institution of the royal family and NGN stopping them from bringing legal claims, which Harry claimed he was informed of in 2012 and prevented him from bringing legal action sooner.
