Prince William settles phone-hacking claim in secret settlement.
TL;DR
Court papers from Prince Harry's lawyers reveal that Prince William was paid a "very large sum" by The Sun's owners to settle historical phone-hacking claims. The papers also allege that Buckingham Palace and News Group Newspapers had a "secret agreement" to delay legal claims from Royal Family members. Prince Harry is currently suing NGN over alleged unlawful information gathering, including phone-hacking. NGN denies any deal existed and says Prince Harry has run out of time.
