A spokesperson for Prince Harry and Meghan's legal team said: "The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have successfully settled a legal claim brought at the beginning of this year against the paparazzi agency Splash U.K.
"This settlement is a clear signal that unlawful, invasive, and intrusive paparazzi behaviour will not be tolerated, and that the couple takes these matters seriously - just as any family would.
"A simultaneous and similar claim against Splash U.S., a sister company to Splash U.K., continues to move forward in the British court system."
