LONDON: The United Kingdom’s Prince Harry said on Friday that his ‘mission’ to rein in the British media would continue after he accepted costs and damages from a tabloid publisher that invaded his privacy with phone hacking and other illegal snooping.

Harry’s lawyer David Sherborne said at a court hearing that Mirror Group Newspapers had agreed to pay all of the prince’s legal costs, plus ‘substantial’ damages, and would make an interim payment of 400,000 pounds ($505,000) within 14 days. The final tab will be assessed later.
