Prince Harry’s collaborator on his memoir has started a battle of the ghostwriters. In a new piece for the New Yorker, J.R. Moehringer reflects on the process of writing Spare, including his “exasperation” with the Prince, and reaction to the book.
He also takes aim at Andrew O’Hagan, a rival who penned a negative review of Spare for the London Review of Books with the headline “Off His Royal Tits”. Moehringer hits back, saying he read O’Hagan’s work on ghosting for Julian Assange and “it sounded to me like Elon Musk on mushrooms — on Mars”.
