A wave of change sweeps over the British media landscape as Britain's High Court graces Prince Harry with a landmark victory in his decade-long battle against phone hacking. The court favored the Prince, ordering a hefty fine of $180,000 to be deposited in the royal coffers as reparation for invasion of his privacy.
Sealing the fate of the British tabloid press that’s been riding roughshod over Prince Harry’s privacy, the High Court ruling upheld as many as fifteen damning cases of phone hacking. This intrusive strategy allowed tabloids to eavesdrop on the Prince's personal voicemails and those of his associates. Furthermore, they went the extra mile with 'blagging' - a mischievous art of deception aimed at extracting highly confidential information.
