Hacked Off board director Emma Jones explores Prince Harry’s ‘monumental victory’ against News Group Newspapers and what it means for hundreds of other victims of press intrusion.

Emma was at London’s High Court when Rupert Murdoch’s group settled with the Duke of Sussex at the eleventh hour, minutes before the trial was due to start. NGN issued an unequivocal apology for incidents of unlawful activity and serious intrusion as well as paying substantial damages.

Hacked Off campaigner Hugh Grant is now calling for the Crown Prosecution Service and the Metropolitan Police to investigate a criminal prosecution for phone hacking and the use of private investigators by NGN newspapers, including The Sun. Emma says the actor wanted his day in court but believes civil cases are weighted against claimants and reluctantly settled.

Prince Harry's barrister says NGN have paid out more than a billion pounds in settlements and legal costs.
