Prince Harry settled privacy and data protection claims Thursday against a news agency that hovered over his home in a helicopter and took photos directly into his living room and bedroom.
Harry accepted substantial damages and an apology from Splash News and Picture Agency. The figure was not disclosed.
In a statement read at High Court in London on Harry's behalf, his attorney Gerrard Tyrrell said the rural retreat in Oxfordshire, southern England was chosen because of "the high level of privacy it afforded," but that now he and his wife Meghan feel "they are no longer able to live at the property."
The agency pledged to "cease and desist from selling, issuing, publishing or making available the photographs."
Splash also promised "not repeat its conduct by using any aerial means to take photographs or film footage of the duke's private home."
