Prince William privately settled phone-hacking claim, court told
The Prince of Wales received a “very large sum” from News Group Newspapers, court papers say. …
“The rationale behind this was that a secret agreement had been reached between the institution and senior executives at News Group Newspapers, whereby members of the Royal Family would bring phone hacking claims only at the conclusion of [all other cases] and at that stage the claims would be admitted or settled with an apology,” the statement said.
