deadline.comPrince Harry has been awarded £140,000 ($180,000) in damages in damages after a court ruled he was the victim of phone hacking by Mirror Group Newspapers.
The Duke of Sussex alleged that he was the victim of more than 140 instances of illegal news gathering and the trial tested the evidence regarding 33 of those stories.
In the past few minutes, a judge has said that 15 of these 33 sample articles were “the product of phone hacking … or the product of other unlawful information gathering.” Harry has been paid more than half of the £320,000 he was seeking.
