Prince Harry has won 15 claims in his case accusing Mirror Group Newspapers of unlawfully gathering information for stories published about him.
A judge has ruled in his favour on almost half of the sample of 33 stories used in his claims of phone hacking and other methods.
A High Court ruling found evidence of “widespread and habitual” use of phone hacking at the Mirror newspapers.
Prince Harry described it as a “great day for truth” and accountability.
He was awarded £140,600 in damages and in a statement read out on the Duke of Sussex’s behalf outside the High Court, his lawyer David Sherborne called the ruling “vindicating and affirming”.

Prince Harry won on his claim about how this story was obtained
“This case is not just about hacking – it is about a systemic practice of unlawful and appalling behaviour, followed by cover ups and destruction of evidence, the shocking scale of which can only be revealed through these proceedings,” he said.
“I’ve been told that slaying dragons will get you burned. But in light of today’s victory and the importance of doing what is needed for a free and honest press – it’s a worthwhile price to pay,” Prince Harry’s statement said.
He also called on the police and prosecuting authorities to “investigate bringing charges against the company and those who have broken the law”.
In a statement, the Metropolitan Police said it would “carefully consider the civil judgment handed down today at the High Court. There is no ongoing investigation.”
