Harry's ghost writer admits being 'exasperated' with him over book …
Prince Harry's ghost writer has revealed how he shouted at him in a heated 2am row over edits to biography Spare. J. R.
Moehringer has told how he became 'exasperated' working with Harry before the launch of the memoir back in January. He wrote in the New Yorker: "I was exasperated with Prince Harry. My head was pounding, my jaw was clenched, and I was starting to raise my voice.
And yet some part of me was still able to step outside the situation and think, 'this is so weird. I'm shouting at Prince Harry'. "Then, as Harry started going back at me, as his cheeks flushed and his eyes narrowed, a more pressing thought occurred: 'Whoa, it could all end right here'." Moehringer continued: "Harry always wanted to end this scene with a thing he said to his captors, a comeback that struck me as unnecessary, and somewhat inane.
For months, I'd been crossing out the comeback, and for months Harry had been pleading for it to go back in. Now he wasn't pleading, he was insisting, and it was 2am and I was starting to lose it." READ MORE King Charles had BBC man 'thrown out' of coronation rehearsals
Harry accepted the ghostwriter's view eventually. The dad-of-two, who enjoyed a series of calls with the writer from his home in California, where he lives with Meghan Markle and his two kids, then told Moehringer: "I really enjoy getting you worked up like that." "I wondered if we'd have any chemistry.
We did, and there was, I think, a surprising reason. Diana, Princess of Wales, had died 23 years before our first conversation, and my mother, Dorothy Moehringer, had just died, and our griefs felt equally fresh," the writer wrote. "I think I selfishly welcomed the idea of being able to speak with someone, an expert, about that never-ending feeling of wishing you could call your mom."

It comes after Harry returned to his home in Montecito, California, after a brief visit to the UK for the King's coronation on Saturday.
