Dear Prince Harry,

DEAR PRINCE HARRY He accused her of spying. She wrote him the truth. This is a letter. A private, urgent letter from a former Fleet Street journalist and private investigator to a prince who believed he had finally discovered who had invaded his life. Christine Joanna Hart knew the secretive world behind the headlines. She knew the investigators, the journalists and the strange trade in private information. Then she found herself written into Prince Harry's story, accused and misrepresented by people who had never asked her what she knew. Years later, Harry and six other public figures brought an enormous privacy case against the publisher of the Daily Mail. At its centre was a devastating witness statement attributed to private investigator Gavin Burrows. Burrows denied writing or signing it. The High Court later found that the claimants had not proved the disputed statement contained Burrows's own words. Now Burrows is speaking publicly, and a far larger question is beginning to surface: Who created the story that carried a prince into court? Part investigation, part confession and part psychological reckoning, Dear Prince Harry is not a defence of the tabloid press. It is an examination of something more disturbing: how genuine wounds can be used, how powerful people can still be manipulated, and how an apparent crusade for truth can become a machine with nobody willing to reach for the brake. Christine Joanna Hart is a Sunday Times bestselling author, former Fleet Street journalist and private investigator, and practising psychotherapist. She was there. This is her letter.
