Britain's Prince Harry has reached a settlement with the Rupert Murdoch-owned publisher of the tabloid Sun, his lawyer announced on Wednesday, ending a long-running legal battle that the British Royal had previously insisted must go to trial to ensure “accountability” for other alleged victims of hacking and surveillance by the news organization.

In a statement to the press, Harry’s lawyer David Sherborne said the Sun’s publisher has agreed to pay “substantial damages” for unlawfully intruding into his personal life and hacking his phone.
The publisher has also agreed to make a “full and unequivocal apology” to Harry for “the phone hacking, surveillance and misuse of private information by journalists and private investigators instructed by them.”
