Prince Harry after court ruling - His fight against dragons is not over
Prince Harry (39) has won a partial victory in a phone hacking case against the British media group Mirror Group Newspapers (MGN). The competent court ruled that Harry had been illegally spied on and awarded him the equivalent of just over 160,000 euros in damages. Harry, who was not present, commented on the matter in a long statement following his victory.
According to People, the statement was read out outside the courthouse by Harry's lawyer David Sherbourne. "This case is not just about hacking," the magazine quotes. It is much more about "a systematic practice of unlawful and horrific behavior".
"The road to justice can be long and painful," it continues. Since Harry filed the lawsuit, "defamatory stories" have been published and there have been intimidation tactics at the expense of his family. The royal speaks of "revenge journalism" and has "learned in this process that patience is indeed a virtue".
Prince Harry's mission is not over yet
Prince Harry is so committed because of his belief in the need and collective right "to a free and honest press". He called on the Financial Services Authority, the police and law enforcement agencies, among others, to "fulfill their duty to the British public" and investigate whether they too can bring charges.
Harry described the judgment as "vindication and vindication". He had been told "that you get burned when you kill dragons". However, he said it was a "worthwhile price" that he was "willing to pay given today's victory and the importance of doing what is necessary for a free and honest press". "The mission continues."
