Prince Harry settles phone hacking claims against Mirror Group

The Duke of Sussex, Prince Harry, has settled his remaining phone hacking claims against Mirror Group Newspapers.
 
The publishers will pay all Prince Harry's legal costs, and some £300,000 in damages.
 
The settlement - relating to claims of unlawful intrusion on 115 stories - marks the end of a four-year-battle between the prince and the publisher.
 
The stories were published between 1996 and 2010 - and Prince Harry in court last June was grilled about his claims that the information could only have been obtained in unlawful ways.
 
The court then ruled in December that there was evidence of "widespread and habitual" use of phone hacking at the group.
 
Piers Morgan, who was editor of the paper between 1995 and 2004, repeatedly denied knowledge of any attempts to hack phones.
