The reason Prince Harry decided to settle his case has just come out, and left many wondering, “What could have persuaded the Duke to stop at this stage?”
The question has been addressed in a piece for The Telegraph by writer Hannah Furness.
In her piece she explained, “The decision will inevitably raise questions about his finances – the settlement was an eight-figure sum, we are told. While other celebrities and civilians settled, with some saying they could not afford to pay the legal fees, Prince Harry planned to be the one who saw it through, with money as no object.”
“It is not clear to what extent his settlement is materially or morally different to the one he told the world his elder brother had made, with 2023 court papers” because “One brother did so in private, and the other in public.”
However, another possibility could be that perhaps “someone finally convinced Harry, a family man who is forging a new life on another continent, that his energies might be better spent elsewhere.”
Regardless, to Ms Furness perhaps it was also that, “The cost, both financially and mentally – as he relived his unhappy younger years – was huge, and the rift with his family significant, as his legal battles came to play a ‘central piece’ in this, he said previously.”
