Former Labour MP Stephen Pound has highlighted Prince Harry's recent legal victory as "his first good news in a long time" amid his American business struggles.
The comments come as Harry secured a significant settlement with News Group Newspapers over allegations of unlawful information gathering.
Pound told GB News: "His businesses in America are crashing. The magazine, called Vanity Fair, has absolutely ripped him to shreds. And this is the first piece of good news he's got.
"I hope he's got the decency to act a little bit modestly about this and not start crying about it. I'd be interested to see where we go."
Commentator Mike Parry agreed: "The fact that Harry has clearly won and all the evidence points to the fact that he wasn't delusional because everybody said, oh, it's all in your head, Harry.
"You're such a troubled soul. You think everybody's against you. This is such a clear case and News Group have literally held their hands up and said we got it completely wrong.

"Harry got it completely right from what I've seen so far. I think there's going to be pretty huge repercussions. It's interesting to see what the damages are. "
News Group Newspapers (NGN) offered "a full and unequivocal apology" to Prince Harry for phone hacking and surveillance activities.
The publisher acknowledged the misuse of private information by journalists and private investigators working under their instruction.
They also agreed to pay "substantial damages" to the Duke of Sussex as part of the settlement terms.
The legal battle began in 2019 when Harry sued NGN over alleged illegal information gathering dating back to the 1990s and 2000s.
Harry had spoken about his expectations for the trial as recently as December 2024.
"The goal is accountability. It's really that simple," he told attendees at the New York Times' DealBook Summit.
The prince, who now lives in California, was not present for the trial's opening day.
The settlement news comes amid troubles at BetterUp, where Prince Harry serves as Chief Impact Officer in a £1million-a-year role.
The US-based mental health coaching firm has been branded a "toxic train wreck" by employees on review site Glassdoor.
Current and former staff have described it as a "psychologically unsafe place to work" with an "elitist club of leaders".
