Prince William receives phone hacking settlement from Murdoch papers

Prince William was paid a "very large sum" by Rupert Murdoch's News Group Newspapers to settle phone-hacking claims, according to court documents submitted by Prince Harry's legal team. Harry is suing the newspaper group for unlawful acts, including hacking his voicemails. The legal team alleges that the payment to William was part of a secret deal made between NGN and Buckingham Palace not to bring any further legal action against the Murdoch titles until other outstanding phone-hacking litigation was settled. NGN denies that there was a secret deal.
