Prince Harry secured what he called a "monumental victory" over the publisher of The Sun, News Group Newspapers (NGN), after a settlement was reached to prevent the case from going to trial.

Prince Harry will not travel to London for the first day of his trial against Rupert Murdoch’s tabloid The Sun, refuting claims that he was set to receive "limited police protection" during his stay.
