Later, when it was safe to do so, Moehringer journeyed out to Harry and Meghan’s Montecito home, where he stayed in their guesthouse. The pair were in contact-on Zoom, over the phone, via text-“around the clock” over the ensuing months. Moehringer’s own mother had died shortly before he agreed to meet Harry, and despite the fact that Diana died in 1997, he writes, “our griefs felt equally fresh.” That shared heartache was the “surprising” reason for the near-instant kinship between the prince and his ghostwriter, according to Moehringer. The way he’d been treated, by both strangers and intimates, was grotesque.”Īlso, on some selfish level, he adds, it was cathartic to talk to someone else “about that never-ending feeling of wishing you could call your mom.” I found his story, as he outlined it in broad strokes, relatable and infuriating.

“I called him dude right away it made him chuckle. “I just liked the dude,” Moehringer recalls about meeting Harry for the first time over Zoom in the throes of the pandemic. It was one of several fights they had as they hashed out the book’s final draft, but their working relationship was largely buoyed up by their bond, according to the ghostwriter. 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.”Įventually, Moehringer and Harry were able to talk it out, and the line stayed on the cutting room floor. “And yet some part of me was still able to step outside the situation and think, This is so weird. “My head was pounding, my jaw was clenched, and I was starting to raise my voice,” he writes. The pair went back and forth over whether to include or cut the quip, and Moehringer could feel his temper flaring. Harry wanted to end the scene with a witty retort he’d given, while Moehringer insisted that that would “dilute” the scene’s primary theme-that of the endless recurrence of the “central tragedy” of the Duke of Sussex’s life. Harry had been “captured by pretend terrorists” in order to assess his capacity to endure torture, Moehringer recounts, when one of his kidnappers hurled “a vile dig” at him about the late Princess Diana. Last summer, Moehringer and the prince were squaring off over book edits in a late-night Zoom session, and came to a passage that detailed a brutal military exercise he’d undergone while training in England. Moehringer collaborated on the former’s memoir over the course of two years, the two naturally grew close, texting constantly and addressing one another as “dude.” But it wasn’t always smooth sailing, as Moehringer wrote in a new essay for T he New Yorker.

With that being said, let’s take a look at the favorites and long shots for this years Run for the Roses. Horse racing, and by extension the Kentucky Derby, is a pari-mutuel so the odds you see are based on the amount of money other bettors are wagering on a particular horse, if that horse is favored that indicates that other people are putting substantial money on that horse.

Notably, betting on horse racing in general is a bit different from placing standard sports bets. Critically, only cash wagers are eligible for this promotion and any other bonus cash wagers will not trigger this offer. So if a users signs up for this offer ahead of the Derby and wagers $500 on the Run for the Roses, they’ll need to wager another $1,100 in cash to complete this promotion. As noted, the distribution of those bonus bets is predicated on the user wagered $1,600 over the course of those first 30 days.
