TL;DR

Prince Harry is pursuing legal action against Rupert Murdoch's News Group Newspapers (NGN) for multiple unlawful acts allegedly committed on behalf of its tabloids, the Sun and now-defunct News of the World, from the mid-1990s until 2016. NGN is seeking to strike out claims by the prince and British actor Hugh Grant, arguing they should have taken action sooner. Prince William has settled a phone-hacking claim against NGN for a "very large sum" after a secret deal struck with Buckingham Palace.
