Prince William has reportedly received a "very large sum of money" in a 2020 settlement with Rupert Murdoch's media empire for phone hacking. The lawsuit, brought against News Group Newspapers, alleges the newspapers unlawfully gathered information in a scandal dating back two decades. Prince Harry's lawyer revealed the settlement in a summary of arguments why his lawsuit against the publisher of The Sun and News Of The World should not be thrown out. The amount of money received by Prince William has not been disclosed, and the outcome of the case is expected to have a significant impact on the ongoing phone hacking scandal.

Fox News has apologized to the judge in the Dominion Voting Systems defamation case, admitting to a misunderstanding regarding Rupert Murdoch's role at the network that led to an investigation into potential legal misconduct. Fox attorney Blake Rohrbacher wrote that the network should have provided a more accurate description of Murdoch's role, and apologized for not doing so. The case is set to begin Monday and could have a major impact on media law, as a finding of liability against Fox News could set a precedent for other outlets to be held accountable for their reporting.
