This is King Charles first major statement after Prince Harry settled the lawsuit as NGN publisher agreed to pay him "substantial damages."

The NGN issued a wide-ranging apology and admission of wrongdoing, in what Harry´s lawyer called "a monumental victory" that underlined the need for further probes.

According to Reuters, NGN also admitted it had intruded into the private life of Harry's late mother, Princess Diana.

Sources familiar with the deal said the settlement totalled more than 10 million pounds ($12.33 million), mostly in legal fees.
