Charles Spencer, Lady Diana’s brother, spoke out after the announcement of the financial agreement concluded between Prince Harry and the owner of the tabloid The Sun. He praised his nephew for his perseverance and determination.
Charles Spencer, younger brother of the late Princess Diana, is proud of his nephew and has made it known. The latter won his case in a legal battle opposing him to the tabloid The Sun, belonging to News Group Newspapers (NGN).
“It is simply unbelievable that Harry fought for and received an apology. His mother would have been so moved and proud, and rightly so.” wrote Charles Spencer on X (formerly Twitter).
Prince Harry has reached a financial settlement with the owner of The Sun tabloid, ending his legal action against the Rupert Murdoch group. The amount of financial compensation has not been revealed. “Today the lies have been exposed. And this day proves that no one is above the law. The time for accountability has come” said David Sherborne, Harry’s lawyer.
“Substantial damage”
The deal allows Harry and News Group Newspapers (NGN), which owns the Sun, to avoid a trial, which was initially scheduled to begin Tuesday and last several weeks. The media outlet was accused of using illegal methods to obtain private information.

The NGN group apologized to Harry for “phone hacking, surveillance and misuse of private information by journalists and private investigators“acting for News of the World, which closed in 2011, and will pay him”substantial damage“, said the lawyer.
“I have been asked to read a statement on behalf of the Duke of Sussex and Lord Watson. In a monumental victory, today News UK admitted that the Sun, the flagship title of Rupert Murdoch’s British media empire , did engage in illegal practices. This is a victory for the hundreds of other plaintiffs who were forcefully forced into a settlement without being able to know the truth about what was done to them. he added.
