LONDON – Britain’s Prince Harry said on Friday his mission to purge the press would continue “through to the end” after he accepted substantial damages to settle his case against Mirror Group Newspapers.
He also delivered another broadside against former editor Piers Morgan.
“As I said back in December, our mission continues,” his statement said. “It is the very reason why I started this, and why I will continue to see it through to the end.”
He also again berated high-profile broadcaster Morgan, a former Daily Mirror editor, who Fancourt concluded was among senior figures who had known about the “widespread” unlawful behavior.
“We call again for the authorities to uphold the rule of law and to prove that no one is above it. That includes Mr Morgan, who as editor, knew perfectly well what was going on, as the judge held,” Harry’s statement said.
Morgan, now one of the most prominent and vocal critics of Harry and Meghan, says he has never hacked a phone nor told anybody else to do so. — Reuters
