(38 minutes later) | |
Prince William was paid a "very large sum" by the owners of The Sun to settle historical phone-hacking claims, court documents say. | |
There was a "secret agreement" between Buckingham Palace and News Group Newspapers (NGN), papers shown at the High Court allege. | |
Prince Harry is suing the publisher over alleged unlawful information gathering at its titles. | |
But NGN says the prince has run out of time to bring a claim. | |
The case is one of three major allegations of unlawful information gathering that the Duke of Sussex has made against tabloid newspapers - the other cases concerning the Daily Mirror and Daily Mail groups. | |
He alleges that evidence disclosed since the criminal trials relating to phone hacking at the now-closed News of the World prove he was serially targeted by its sister title, The Sun. | |
