The ongoing trial revolves around the allegations of phone hacking by Mirror Group Newspapers. Prince Harry's appearance in the witness box was accompanied by a comprehensive 55-page witness statement.
While testifying, Prince Harry went to the extent of accusing Mr. Burell of being deceitful. This was primarily due to Mr. Burell's actions of selling their mother's possessions and granting multiple interviews about her, which greatly disturbed Prince Harry and his family.
They firmly believed that even in death, Princess Diana deserved privacy, especially from someone she had placed her trust in. Prince Harry stated that he did not want to hear Mr. Burell's justifications for his behavior as it deeply upset him.
The public nature of these statements led GB News to confirm that the Duke of Sussex indeed referred to Paul Burell as a 'two-faced s***' during his testimony.
In his witness statement, Prince Harry further affirmed that he would have used this exact phrase, as reported, and believed it may have been extracted directly from a voicemail he had previously left.
