Ghostwriter behind Prince Harry's book reveals duke's 'tearful' reaction to its publication

The ghostwriter behind 'Spare', Prince Harry's memoir, has revealed the royal's tearful reaction to his publication.

J. R. Moehringer, writer of the best-selling book, said it was like "telling Taylor Swift about a bad breakup" after Harry's hardback hit the shelves in January this year. Several hours of Zoom meetings and late night calls were spent collaborating on the book, with the ghost writer meeting the royal inner circle and gaining insight into the world behind the tabloids.

Speaking about the duke's reaction, Mr Moehringer told the New Yorker: "It was like telling Taylor Swift about a bad breakup. It was like singing “Hallelujah” to Leonard Cohen. Harry was all heart."
