The Royal Family's Media Ties: Prince William's 'Very Large Sum' Settlement and Prince Harry's Bombshell

Court documents reveal that Prince William received a "very large sum of money" in a 2020 settlement from Rupert Murdoch's British newspaper arm, which was kept quiet until now. The revelation came to light due to another lawsuit filed by Prince Harry, who alleges that Murdoch newspaper employees hacked into royals' phones. Murdoch's News Group Newspapers has argued that the phone hacking lawsuits should be thrown out, but Prince Harry cited a "secret agreement" between the royal family and the newspapers as preventing him from bringing his case.
