As the BBC reports, citing court documents, Prince William received a very large “” after Buckingham and News Group Newspaters reached a secret “agreement” resolving the matter in silence.
Details of the agreement have been provided in legal documents presented by Prince Harry as part of his legal battle with the publisher, Rupert Murdoch, who will be elected at the Supreme Court on Tuesday.
There are no further details about what William claimed happened and whether it included Sun or News of the World, which closed at the height of the wiretapping scandal in 2011. A spokesperson for the Buckingham Palace said he would never comment on an ongoing legal case, while the Kensington Palace also refused to comment.
William and Harry have long been familiar with this case that they have been the victims of wiretapping since royal affairs reporter Clive Goodman was convicted of wiretapping in a trial in 2007. At the time, Murdoch's firm said Goodman was acting alone and that the newspaper was deceived by a journalist. /abcnews. al
