#phonehacking

I don't normally side with royalty, but glad to see #PrinceHarry win his case against the #tabloids. #PhoneHacking and other illegitimate practices should be punished. I'd like to see editors and others responsible in prison.

Prince Harry has won 15 claims in his case accusing Mirror Group Newspapers of unlawfully gathering information for stories published about him. A judge has ruled in his favour on almost half of the sample of 33 stories used in his claims of phone hacking and other methods. A High Court ruling found evidence of "widespread and habitual" use of phone hacking at the Mirror newspapers.

Prince Harry described it as a "great day for truth" and accountability. He was awarded £140,600 in damages and in a statement read out on the Duke of Sussex's behalf outside the High Court, his lawyer David Sherborne called the ruling "vindicating and affirming".
