Princess Diana "would be incredibly touched,“ Charles Spencer said in reaction to Harry's settlement with News Group Newspapers.

Prince Harry claimed a monumental victory Wednesday as Rupert Murdoch’s U.K. tabloids made an unprecedented apology for intruding in his life over decades.

NGN also apologized to the Duke for the impact on him of the "extensive coverage and serious intrusion into his private life as well as the private life of Diana, Princess of Wales."

In addition to issuing a “full and unequivocal” apology for the “serious intrusion” into his private life, the newspaper group also made a retroactive apology to Diana, Princess of Wales, who the prince has claimed was “one of the first victims” of phone hacking.

News Group Newspapers acknowledged its private investigators and journalists targeted Harry with phone hacking, surveillance, and misuse of private information.

The publisher agreed to pay "substantial damages" for using unlawful activities to intrude into the Duke of Sussex's private life from 1996 to 2011
