The High Court has been told that Prince William was paid a ‘large sum’ by Rupert Murdoch’s UK newspaper publishing wing to settle a phone-hacking claim in 2020.

Harry has claimed that journalists from the two tabloids elbowed their way into his private life by hacking his voicemails and hiring private investigators. But in response, the Prince of Sussex’s lawyers claimed in documents that William was paid a ‘very large sum’ by NGN in 2020 to settle his own phone-hacking scandal.NGN now wants to go behind a ‘secret agreement’ between the royals and the publisher’s top executives, David Sherborne, Harry’s lawyer, told the London court.
