Great news that the Mirror Group have had to pay up and pay Harry's legal costs. It must be great news for the 100 other cases that are still outstanding. It should never have taken this long.

This is not just about Harry.
Now he is not a working member of the Royal Family, he is seen as a celebrity and celebrities have suffered from press intrusion too.

Serious press intrusion into the lives of celebrities has been going on for a long time, hence the Leveson Enquiry in 2011/12

Well their “jobs” are basically to be in the public eye and pose for photos, which isn’t conducive to a private life. The RF aren’t entitled to a private life according to our media which print pages of stories based on endless speculation -“ the first picture of Charles after his diagnosis” was one photo last week - give the bloke a break. Why do they issue photos of their children for the plebs to gawk at? The kids haven’t given their consent.

You seem to understand nothing about the role of the monarch and the rest of the working RF.

Amazing isn't it grin
