In a new essay, J.R. Moehringer reveals he lived with Meghan and Harry while working on the explosive memoir.
Moehringer recalls a late night Zoom session with Harry to go over the book's edits. The two reached an impasse over a specific section in the book, in which Harry is in the midst of a brutal military training that simulates the experience of being kidnapped and tortured by terrorists. He is beaten, starved, stripped, and—at one point—the pretend captors hurl insults at him, one of which is a "vile dig" at his late mother, Princess Diana.
In the end, Moehringer convinced the royal to exclude the witticism from the passage, arguing that it unnecessarily detracts from the story's narrative power. Harry relented, then cheekily joked to the writer afterwards, "I really enjoy getting you worked up like that."Despite the occasional editorial disagreements with Harry, Moehringer wrote that his impression of the prince was generally a positive one.
"I wondered if we’d have any chemistry. We did, and there was, I think, a surprising reason. Princess Diana had died twenty-three years before our first conversation, and my mother, Dorothy Moehringer, had just died, and our griefs felt equally fresh," he wrote.
