Big Boss Rupert Murdoch Says Sorry for Spying on Prince Harry

In a surprising turn of events, Rupert Murdoch's media empire, specifically News Group Newspapers (NGN), apologized to Prince Harry. The apology came after the Duke of Sussex sued them, claiming unlawful activities by The Sun's private investigators back in 1996-2011. This rare public apology happened just before a high-profile trial, which Murdoch likely wanted to avoid. The apology admitted to serious privacy intrusions and unlawful activities, a stark contrast to the usual stance of Murdoch's media outlets that rarely admit wrongdoing.

Prince Harry has praised this settlement, seeing it as vindication for others who faced similar issues. It's important to note this apology specifically named The Sun, a newspaper still in operation, unlike the shutdown News of the World, which was also involved in phone hacking. The apology highlighted the distress caused to Prince Harry and his late mother, Diana, and even acknowledged the damage to relationships and family life.
