Earlier this year, Prince Harry returned to the UK and took the stand in his ongoing case against the publishers of Daily Mail, Associated Newspapers Limited.
Harry is one of eight high profile claimants, which includes other names like Sir Elton, his husband David Furnish, politician Sir Simon Hughes and actresses Sadie Frost and Elizabeth Hurley.
During his time in the witness stand, he pointed out the various ways the Daily Mail has succeeded in making his and his wife’s lives a misery.
Now hearing from the opposition, we’ve learned that Harry’s team issued death threats to Gavin Burrows, a key witness in the ongoing legal case.
Gavin Burrows Provides Evidence Someone From Prince Harry’s Team Threatened His Life
Seeing how emotional Prince Harry appeared on the stand, it doesn’t take a stretch of the imagination to see him going even further to ensure the Daily Mail pays the dues for their phone “blagging.”
According to the evidence provided by Gavin Burrows, Harry’s legal researcher, Graham Johnson, a convicted phone hacker and former journalist, reached out to try to scare him off the case.
He provided a recording to the court as evidence, even though legal researcher, Dan Waddell, claims that the voice in the recording belongs to Burrows himself.
Next week, Burrows will appear before the court via a video link, as he has opted not to disclose his location to Harry’s team.
In response to this, Harry’s attorney David Sherborne slammed Burrows, describing his safety fears as “utterly spurious.” He also tried to block Burrows from giving evidence before the court.
This is, of course, something that the Daily Mail’s legal team worked hard to prevent. Repping ANL, Antony White KC insisted that there’s “no dispute” Burrows evidence will be a central part of the case and that he should be allowed to take the stand as planned.
Burrows first made headlines last year when he claimed that his signature on an earlier witness statement was the work of “forgery” and was “completely false.”
The 2021 statement saw Burrows confess to employing illegal methods, including phone hacking, to gather information on the Prince and some other claimants.

I have seen what Harry and Meghan have said about the Royal family that was never fact-checked but they were never been corrected or taken to court! I think most of them are what is good for you is not good for me! They go out there and cry while in the next breath the are spilling the same thing they are hollering about! Make up their minds and quit playing the victim card! Now if they physically did something to them, then I would say go after them!
