NGN also apologized to the Duke for the impact on him of the "extensive coverage and serious intrusion into his private life as well as the private life of Diana, Princess of Wales."

Harry remains a prince and is fifth in line to the throne. The couple kept their Duke and Duchess of Sussex titles, but are no longer addressed as his or her royal highness (HRH). Harry also gave up his military titles.

Rupert Murdoch’s News Group Newspapers offered Harry an “unequivocal apology,” admitting for the first time to “unlawful activities” at The Sun and agreeing to pay what it called substantial damages.

Prince Harry’s lawsuit against News Group Newspapers (NGN), responsible for tabloids such as The Sun, has reached a settlement six years after he first sued the organization over alleged wrongdoing.

In a rare move, Rupert Murdoch’s tabloids have apologized for intruding on the life of Prince Harry. The Associated Press called it an “unprecedented apology,” which was made along with “substantial damages” paid to the prince for years of spying on his private life.
