Prince William was paid a "very large sum" by the owners of the Sun newspaper to settle historical phone-hacking claims, court papers say.
Ednews reports citing Daily Mail that the payment in 2020 was revealed in papers from Prince Harry's lawyers as part of his legal action against News Group Newspapers at the High Court.
The Duke of Sussex is suing the publisher over alleged unlawful information gathering.
But NGN says he has run out of time to bring a claim.
The documents do not disclose the amount Prince William settled for and do not have the details of what it related to. A spokesman for the Prince of Wales said they would not comment on ongoing legal proceedings.
