It’s a beautiful thing when Rupert Murdoch is made to account for his horrific actions.
But that’s what’s happened. You’ll read below Murdoch’s apology to Prince Harry for hacking his phone.
Murdoch also apologized to Harry for all the trauma he caused Princess Diana.
It’s unclear how much money received yesterday from Murdoch in the settlement of the phone hacking case — or whether it was just the sweet admission that Murdoch’s reign of terror against the royal family has finally been acknowledged by the billionaire himself.
“After endless resistance, denials and legal battles by News Group Newspapers, including spending more than a billion pounds in payouts and in legal costs (as well as paying-off those in the know) to prevent the full picture from coming out, News UK is finally held to account for its illegal actions and its blatant disregard for the law,” said a statement read outside the court Wednesday on behalf of Prince Harry and the British lawmaker who brought the suit with him. “The truth that has now been exposed is that NGN unlawfully engaged more than 100 private investigators over at least 16 years on more than 35,000 occasions. This happened as much at The Sun as it did at the News of the World, with the knowledge of all the Editors and executives, going to the very top of the company.”
