Prince Harry claims Prince William reached settlement with Murdoch tabloids for "large sum" in hacking case
CBSN
London — U.K. court documents emerged this week that include claims from Britain's Prince Harry that his brother and heir to the throne Prince William quietly received "a very large sum of money" in a 2020 phone hacking settlement with the U.K. newspaper division of Rupert Murdoch's media empire.
It was one of a series of explosive revelations made in witness statements from Harry's lawyer in arguments about why the younger prince's lawsuit against the publisher of The Sun and now-defunct News Of The World tabloids should not be thrown out. The court filings have raised questions about other possible secret deals between the royals and Britain's tabloid press.
