By the way, Harry's case against the Daily Mirror and two other tabloids is one of several he has initiated against British media companies.

"After our victory in December, Mirror Group finally settled the rest of my lawsuit, which would have consisted of two more court cases, additional evidence, and another 115 articles," Harry shared.
