Prince Harry has taken personal aim at Piers Morgan in a new furious attack on the media after his court battle win.
The Duke of Sussex has been awarded £140,600 in a phone hacking case against the Mirror Group Newspapers.
Prince Harry's lawyer in a statement accused the TV presenter of "clearly knowing about the illegal activities" taking place at Mirror Group Newspapers.
Morgan has in the past denied all allegations of wrongdoing when it comes to alleged unlawful information gathering.

Prince Harry's representative David Sherborne spoke outside the court, reading a statement from the duke.
He said: "The court has ruled that unlawful and criminal activities were carried out at all three Mirror Group Newspaper titles... on a habitual and widespread basis for over more than a decade.
"This case is not just about hacking, it is about a systemic practice of unlawful and appalling behaviour, followed by coverups and destruction of evidence."
Sherborne said the court found principal board directors, senior executives and editors "such as Piers Morgan clearly knew about or were involved in these illegal activities".

He added: "Between them, they even went as far as lying under oath to parliament during the Leveson inquiry, to the stock exchange, and to us all ever since."
Continuing to read a statement by the prince, Sherborne said that since the claim was brought: "Defamatory stories and intimidating tactics have been deployed against me and at my family's expense."
Prince Harry wrote he has learned patience is a virtue "in the face of vendetta journalism".
"I am happy to have won the case, especially as this trial only looked at a quarter of my entire claim."

The 39-year-old called on the stock market and the police to "do their duty" and investigate bringing charges against the company and those who have broken the law.
"Today's ruling is vindicating and affirming. I have been told that slaying dragons will get you burned, but in light of today's victory and the importance of doing what is needed for a free and honest press, it is a worthwhile price to pay."
Harry, 39, was a "victim of unlawful information gathering" by the publisher, the judge further ruled.
A High Court judge ruled there was “extensive” phone hacking by the Mirror Group Newspapers from 2006 to 2011, “even to some extent” during the Leveson Inquiry into media standards.
