Duke of Sussex settles court case with The Sun's publisher

The Duke of Sussex has settled his High Court case against the publisher of The Sun.

Harry and former Labour deputy leader Lord Tom Watson brought legal action against News Group Newspapers (NGN) over allegations of unlawful information gathering by journalists and private investigators between 1996 to 2011.

NGN, which also ran the now-defunct News Of The World, has denied any unlawful activity took place at The Sun.

Two requests for adjournments were thought to be related to settlement discussions.

But Mr Justice Fancourt refused a third request for a delay as there had been "ample time" for both sides to "seek to resolve their differences".

Anthony Hudson KC, for NGN, said the parties had been involved in "very intense negotiations over the last few days".
