In court documents published Wednesday on the first day of a phone hacking trial, Mirror Group Newspapers, which is now owned by Reach, said it “unreservedly apologizes and accepts that [Harry] is entitled to appropriate compensation” for one instance of unlawful information gathering nearly 20 years ago.
The pair has filed at least seven lawsuits against British and US media organizations since 2019, including Rupert Murdoch’s News Group Newspapers, according to Reuters. News Group Newspapers publishes the Sun and used to produce News of the World, which was shut down in 2011 over its own phone hacking scandal.
