Prince Harry was awarded 140,600 pounds (around $180,700) after the judge agreed he had been targeted by journalists working for Mirror Group Newspapers (MGN).
In his excoriating judgment, the court concluded there had been widespread hacking and unlawful activities at MGN, such as "blagging", or gaining information by deception, from 1996 until 2011.
Prince Harry scored the biggest win yet in his legal war against British tabloids on Friday when London s High Court ruled he had been a victim of phone hacking and other unlawful acts by Mirror Group journalists with the knowledge of their editors.
