Britain's Prince Harry said on Friday he would continue his mission to bring change to the British press after Mirror Group Newspapers settled his outstanding lawsuit. "Everything we said was happening at Mirror Group was in fact happening, and indeed far worse as the Court ruled in its extremely damning judgement," Harry said in a statement read by his lawyer David Sherborne.

He also launched another attack on Piers Morgan, the former editor of the Daily Mirror. "In light of all this, we call again for the authorities to uphold the rule of law and to prove that no one is above it. That includes Mr Morgan, who as editor, knew perfectly well what was going on, as the judge held," his statement said.

"His contempt for the court's ruling and his continued attacks ever since demonstrate why it was so important to obtain a clear and detailed judgment." Since stepping down from royal duties in March 2020 and moving to California with his American wife Meghan, the British royal has made it his mission to rid the British press of the senior executives and editors he accuses of abusing their power to spread lies and unlawfully intrude into people's lives.

"As I said back in December, our mission continues. I believe in the positive change it will bring for all of us. It is the very reason why I started this, and why I will continue to see it through to the end."
