By Laura GozziBBC News
The ghostwriter of Prince Harry 's memoir, Spare, has described finding himself at The centre of a media frenzy when The Book came out in January.

" Every hour, another piece would drop, each one wrong. My fee was wrong, my bio was wrong, even my name, " he writes.
Moehringer said The Experience made him realise he had " understood nothing" about how A Life in The spotlight had affected Prince Harry - But said The Duke of Sussex was " all heart" and supported him throughout.
Some copies of Spare went on sale in Spain several days before The official publication date. Journalists hurried to translate some of The Most striking passages from Spanish back into English, leading to what Moehringer says were " bad translations" that " read like bad Borat".
