LONDON: Prince Harry settled on Wednesday his long-running lawsuit against Rupert Murdoch’s UK tabloid publisher, which agreed to pay him “substantial damages” after admitting intruding into his private life, including by hacking his phone.

Lawyers for a UK tabloid publisher said Tuesday they were "very close" to settling a hotly-disputed lawsuit brought by Britain's Prince Harry for alleged unlawful information gathering by two of its newspapers.

The Duke of Sussex would have faced a high legal bill even if he had won the case. Harry had accused Rupert Murdoch's News Group Newspapers of unlawfully spying on him.

Prince Harry claimed a "monumental" victory over Rupert Murdoch's UK newspaper group on Wednesday after the publisher settled his lawsuit, admitting unlawful actions at its Sun tabloid for the first time and paying unspecified damages.

Prince Harry's lawsuit trial against a tabloid publisher alleging it carried out unlawful information gathering will start on Tuesday.

Harry won an apology and damages from Rupert Murdoch’s U.K. tabloids. Could the lawsuit’s end also help heal the rift with his brother, William, and his father, King Charles III?

Prince Harry’s mission to tame the British media has produced results in court. But the jury is out on whether it will have a broader impact.

The prince got his long-sought apology from the UK tabloid publisher, and Murdoch gets to avoid a potentially embarrassing trial.
