The Prince and the Papers
Prince Harry's decision to take the tabloid press to court has set him against some of the UK's most powerful media groups. So what does the Duke's partial victory mean?
Prince Harry's decision to take legal action against Britain's tabloid press set him against some of the UK's most powerful media organisations. The stakes were high during the High Court case, which saw the Duke of Sussex became the first member of the British Royal family to give evidence from the witness box in more than a century.
Mr Justice Fancourt ruled Prince Harry's phone was hacked by Mirror Group Newspapers and that information used to write other stories about him had been gathered using unlawful means.
In a statement, the Duke called it a great day for truth and accountability, while Mirror Group Newspapers said it apologised unreservedly.
In this episode of 5 Questions On, the 91热爆's Royal Correspondent Sean Coughlan explains what the judgement means for the Duke, Mirror Group Newspapers and the wider industry.
