The prince – who became the first senior British royal for 130 years to give evidence in court when he appeared as the star witness at the trial in June – had sued Mirror Group Newspapers, the publisher of the Daily Mirror, Sunday Mirror and Sunday People.
The Duke of Sussex s case was proved in part , said Mr Justice Fancourt. Journalists at the Sunday Mirror, the People and the Daily Mirror had unlawfully obtained Harry s private information for stories.
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.
