Britain’s Prince Harry on Wednesday settled his legal case against Rupert Murdoch’s News Group Newspapers (NGN), publishers of The Sun newspaper, which offered a rare “full and unequivocal” apology to the now US-based Duke of Sussex and agreed to pay “substantial damages”.

Harry, the younger son of King Charles III, had brought legal action against NGN over allegations of unlawful information gathering by journalists and private investigators between 1996-2011.

NGN had denied any unlawful activity took place at The Sun. “NGN offers a full and unequivocal apology to the Duke of Sussex for the serious intrusion by ‘The Sun’ between 1996 and 2011 into his private life, including incidents of unlawful activities carried out by private investigators working for ‘The Sun’,” states the statement read out in London.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
