Prince Harry snagged a historic win in his lawsuit against Rupert Murdoch ’s U.K. tabloids, receiving an unprecedented apology from the company for the intrusion and breach of privacy of the royal's life.

Prince Harry has settled his lawsuit against News Group Newspapers, the Rupert Murdoch-owned company that publishes The Sun and previously published now-defunct News of The World.

Prince Harry has settled a lawsuit against News Group Newspapers, the U.K. newspaper group owned by media mogul Rupert Murdoch. CBS News' Imtiaz Tyab reports.

Murdoch’s U.K.-based publisher of The Sun tabloid, News Group Newspapers, has agreed to pay “substantial damages” to settle Harry’s legal claim.

Prince Harry settled his lawsuit against Rupert Murdoch's News Group Newspapers (NGN) over alleged unlawful information gathering, his lawyer said on Wednesday.

Rupert Murdoch’s UK publishing business has paid out more than £1bn over the phone-hacking scandal and its subsequent legal fees, with the latest settlement involving Prince Harry reported to be at least £10m.

The deal means that Harry will not be able to seek a court ruling validating his allegations that News Group Newspapers' journalists went to illegal extremes to dig up dirt on his life and that executives at the company helped cover up the bad acts.

"It takes an enormous amount of guts to take on major media organisations like this, and incredible tenacity to win against them," said Spencer

Federal Communications Commission chairman Brendan Carr has reversed his predecessor Jessica Rosenworcel’s last-minute decision to dismiss three complaints against local CBS, ABC and NBC stations.

Rupert Murdoch’s News Group Newspapers settled with the royal, offering him an “unequivocal apology” for invading his privacy.

Just ahead of the start of trial, Prince Harry reached a financial settlement with the News Group Newspapers, a group of British tabloids owned by Rupert Murdoch, in his lawsuit alleging the tabloids violated his privacy.
