Prince Harry's Landmark Phone Hacking Victory Against UK Tabloid
TL;DR
Prince Harry has won his phone hacking lawsuit against the publisher of the Daily Mirror, with the court awarding him over £140,000 ($180,000) in damages. The High Court found that phone hacking was "widespread and habitual" at Mirror Group Newspapers, and executives were aware of the practice and covered it up. This is the first of several lawsuits against British tabloids to go to trial in Prince Harry's battles with the press, and he hopes it serves as a warning to other news media that engage in similar practices.
