It appears to be Vanity Fair and Hollywood reporter that were critical. The old Daily Mail was printing lots of positive stuff.

David Sherborne is the real winner of course. He'll never have to worry about paying his hairdresser ever again
Just to be clear: I have no problem with people who have been badly treated - and that includes PH - being compensated for wrongdoing and those responsible being held to account. And I don't begrudge Sherborne his money either; if PH wants to squander his private millions using his services, that's his choice to do so. To use one last cliché today: A fool and his money are easily parted.
But speaking in Sussex-ese: The mission failed. The dragon is still breathing.
What would have been the standard for the mission to be deemed a success? It is not like Harry could ever expect that The Sun would be shut down, or that Rupert Murdoch would end up in jail, or even personally admit to any wrongdoing or unalwful behavior.David Sherborne is the real winner of course.

I am slightly confused by this statement with regards claims of 30 million e mails and other accusations, has this all been proved in court. Or was this what was to be presented in court.Prince Harry’s statement in full as Duke of Sussex attacks NGN ‘lies’

It sounds to me these claims were to be presented in court.
He didn't achieve it, he walked away. IMO the right thing to do for his financial future, but he cannot claim to be the dragon slayer, in fact as far as I see it, he lost. Once again what Harry claims and the reality are two different things.
Most of what this statement claims has not been proven or admitted to. This is Harry's version but not what the settlement itself says. Both parties have now released statements that interpret their final agreement/settlement completely differently.
From the person who now wants to address misinformation on SM.
Harry did not walk away. Once NGN admitted wrong doing, it is not legally possible for the civil lawsuit to continue.
As an actual lawyer, sorry to say that you're wrong. A settlement means that the facts are never adjudicated. In the eyes of the law, NGN has not admitted to any wrongdoing. NGN is not "the loser" and Harry is not "the winner." Unless a settlement includes some form of injunctive relief (I.e., a legal directive requiring one or both of the parties to either perform or refrain from performing some specific action), the settlement is nothing more than the parties' joint agreement to stop litigating the case.
I am not getting into a long drawn out back and forward with you. He wanted the top bodies , he didn’t get them. He could have refused to settle, he didn’t.
Thank you, for presenting that so clearly.
Thanks for explaining Kenya.
He’s annoying to some commentators yes, but there are plenty on SM who wish him and his wife and children ill, and their comments are and have been threatening and lying and contemptuous on most occasions since 2016. The comments there in the last 24 hours have verged on hysteria. Wonder why!!
Everybody in the public eye receives a mixture of comments both good, bad and in some cases downright horrible. Harry is not alone in this, it is easy to say do not read them. Not so easy to ignore them.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge in this matter.
Without knowing the details of the settlement, it's difficult to guess. In an ideal settlement, both parties should walk away simultaneously happy (to resolve the matter without the burden and expense of trial) and disappointed (not getting the full extent of the relief or vindication sought and having had to "back down" from positions taken throughout the duration of the litigation).
True; strange though it is, the anonymous nature (of SM) makes it possible for trolls to indulge themselves by saying things they'd never admit to otherwise. But they tend to simply move on to the next target.
Very true
Yes the apology is very much the same. Yes it is about the phone hacking from 1996-2007.

The apology admitted illegal activities at "The Sun" which is a different newspaper than the one that shuttered years ago. This is the first time that this entity has admitted unlawful activities. Rebekah Brooks, then editor of "The Sun", once claimed she ran a "clean ship"; but now they admit that she has lied.
Where did it say Rebekah Brooke’s lied, I must have missed that part.
