During the hostage situation, one of the "captors" made a "dig" at Harry's mum, the late Princess Diana.
Moehringer recalled Harry wanting his response to the comment to be included in the book, but Moehringer argued that it would "dilute" the story.
“My head was pounding, my jaw was clenched, and I was starting to raise my voice,” he recalled.
“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’.
“Although this wasn’t the first time that Harry and I had argued, it felt different.”
He went on to explain that Harry insisted the line would be included because "all his life, people had belittled his intellectual capabilities, and this flash of cleverness proved that, even after being kicked and punched and deprived of sleep and food, he had his wits about him”.
Harry eventually backed down and agreed that the line was left out.
