Prince Harry claims court victories. But is he winning the larger war with the British media?

Prince Harry’s mission to tame the British media has produced results in court. But the jury is out on whether it will have a broader impact or be just another chapter or headline in the long history of tabloids behaving badly. Harry received an unprecedented apology from Rupert Murdoch’s flagship U.K. tabloid on Wednesday and previously won in a court judgment that condemned the publishers of the Daily Mirror for “widespread and habitual” phone hacking. The News Group Newspapers settlement has encouraged advocates seeking accountability of the media. But some media observers see the victories as significant for Harry but unlikely to bring wider change.
