Prince Harry's "mission" against the British press has resulted in a victory against Rupert Murdoch's the Sun, which has admitted to wrongdoing.

LONDON (Reuters) - Prince Harry claimed victory in his long-running legal battle against Rupert Murdoch's British newspaper group, after reaching a deal to settle his lawsuit which included an apology for unlawful actions relating to the Sun for the first time.

News Group Newspapers offered a “full and unequivocal apology” to Harry for the “serious intrusion” into his private life by the Sun between 1996 and 2011.

Prince Harry has settled his High Court privacy invasion case against the publisher of The Sun on what was due to be the first day of a weeks-long civil trial - in an "extraordinary" development.

Prince Harry claimed a monumental victory Wednesday as Rupert Murdoch's U.K. tabloids made an unprecedented apology for intruding in his life over decades and agreed to pay substantial damages to settle his privacy invasion lawsuit.

Harry won an apology and damages from Rupert Murdoch’s U.K. tabloids. Could the lawsuit’s end also help heal the rift with his brother, William, and his father, King Charles III?

Britain’s Prince Harry received a rare apology from Rupert Murdoch’s UK newspapers — ‘The Sun’ and the now-defunct ‘News of the World’ — as he settled his privacy invasion lawsuit against them. But is this the end of the story or will the legal war continue?
