The Royal Family's Media Settlements: Prince William and Prince Harry Receive Large Sums.

Prince William received a "very large sum of money" from a 2020 settlement with Rupert Murdoch's British newspapers, according to court documents brought to light in a separate lawsuit filed by Prince Harry against the media empire. Harry's legal team argued that he was not able to bring his case earlier because of a secret agreement brokered by the late Queen Elizabeth and the newspapers that called for a quiet settlement and an apology. Representatives for Prince Harry and Prince William did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
