LONDON (AP) — Court papers say that Prince William quietly received “a very large sum of money” in a 2020 phone hacking settlement with the British newspaper arm of Rupert Murdoch’s media empire.

The revelation came from Prince Harry’s lawyer in arguments about why Harry’s lawsuit against the publisher of The Sun and now-defunct News Of The World should not be thrown out.
