During the interview, William was asked about the allegation that he received a substantial sum of money from News Group Newspapers to settle a phone-hacking claim. In his reply, William stated that he had "never commented on the specifics of any legal settlement" and emphasized his commitment to focus on his work and support the people he represents.
Further details on the phone-hacking scandal:
The scandal revolved around journalists from News Group Newspapers, the publisher of The Sun and The Daily Mail, illegally intercepting voicemail messages.
As a consequence of the scandal, the News of the World ceased publication in 2011.
Several journalists and senior executives at News Group Newspapers were arrested and charged with phone hacking.
Some of them were convicted and sentenced to prison.
Prince William was among those targeted by phone hacking.
He has expressed being "deeply angry" about the phone hacking and feeling a sense of violation.
The issue is complex and sensitive, and it is understandable why Harry would be disappointed in William's response. However, it's essential to consider William's position as the future king of England. He must be cautious in his public statements and avoid appearing overly critical of the media, as it could have repercussions on the monarchy.
It is likely that the two brothers will continue to have differing views on how to handle the phone-hacking scandal. Nonetheless, as responsible adults, they will need to find a way to reconcile their perspectives and move forward together.
