Hugh Grant shows support for Prince Harry after his legal victory

Hugh Grant has reacted to Prince Harry’s recent settlement with News Group Newspapers (NGN).

For the unversed, the settlement, reached earlier this week, saw the Duke of Sussex receive an "unequivocal apology" from NGN for "serious intrusion" by The Sun, which also involved unlawful activities by private investigators.

Now, Grant spoke about the settlement in his interview on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme.

Grant, who is art of the Hacked Off campaign, said, “Well, obviously, in light of these findings, we think that the CPS and the police should launch a new criminal investigation into this.”

"And that was, as I say, the aim of Prince Harry's case, as I understand it, and certainly was my original aim in my case. And also, quite clearly now there should be Leveson Two," Grant added.

He also went on to add that “this is something that was repeatedly promised by the Labour Party in opposition to victims of press abuse over and over again, and now it suddenly seems to have disappeared from their priority list now that they’re in Government.”
