Prince Harry on Friday settled a long-running legal claim against Mirror Group Newspapers (MGN), nearly two months after a UK judge ruled he had been a victim of phone hacking by its tabloid titles.He concluded that phone hacking had been "widespread and habitual" at MGN titles in the late 1990s but that the duke's phone had only been tapped to a "modest extent".
A recent Supreme Court ruling, which opens the door to historic claims, may lead banks to pay billions more in Payment Protection Insurance (PPI) claims.
