The BBC later reported that the settlements for Harry and his co-complainant, former Labour deputy leader Lord Tom Watson, cost NGN more than 10 million British pounds (or about $12 million), adding to the Rupert Murdoch –owned company’s more than 1 billion British pounds in payouts to settle claims over the long-running phone hacking scandal.

Harry's settlement included an apology from NGN, who admitted to intruding on Diana's life when she was alive.
