Prince Harry has made a shocking claim about a previously undisclosed sum of money given to Prince William by a UK newspaper group in a massive settlement payout.
The explosive claims were made amid a lawsuit brought by King Charles’ youngest son against Rupert Murdoch’s News Group Newspapers , which is currently taking place in London.
NGN, which publishes tabloid newspaper The Sun and formerly the now-defunct News of the World, has argued the Prince’s lawsuit should be thrown out by the court because the claims were brought too late. The deal resulted in proceedings against the media company being delayed until other outstanding phone-hacking litigation was settled. The payout was previously undisclosed.

“The institution was incredibly nervous about this and wanted to avoid at all costs the sort of reputational damage that it had suffered in 1993 when the Sun and another tabloid had unlawfully obtained and published details of an intimate telephone conversation that took place between my father and stepmother in 1989, while he was still married to my mother.”
