Elizabeth Hurley responds to speculation regarding her alleged role in Prince Harry's loss of virginity

Elizabeth Hurley was stunned by baseless rumors linking her to being the woman who deflowered Prince Harry. The British actress, 58, called the allegations "absurd" during an appearance on "Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen." `She was an older English woman," he said. It happened in Gloucestershire. They were like, "Oh, it's Elizabeth." It was absurd and ridiculous. Hurley, 19 years older than Harry, claimed to have never met him. 

"Gossip Girl" star doesn't understand why people assumed she was the one who took Harry's V-card. He is American. "Oh, it's Andy Cohen," she joked. The renegade royal, 38, reflected on a "quick romp" with an older woman in his memoir "Spare," released in January 2023. He referred to it as an "inglorious episode." "She had a fondness for horses and treated me like a young stallion. After a swift ride, she playfully smacked my backside and sent me on my way." Harry admitted there were numerous flaws, including the fact that it occurred in a field behind a bustling pub. 

Following the disclosure of the unromantic encounter, Sasha Walpole asserted she was the subject of Harry's written account. "He was young, so it may have been really awkward," she said on Piers Morgan's "Uncensored" show. Walpole, 40, claimed she was 19 when she slept with Harry, who was 17 at the time, and added that "it should never have happened." "We were friends. Not so glorious in a field behind a pub," she said. "No glory in being drunk and sleeping with your mate," Hurley denies prior involvement with Harry before his book release. Not me. Not guilty. "Ha!" she exclaimed to the Saturday Times Magazine in December 2022 when the leaked passage surfaced ahead of schedule. "No." Not me, no way. 

The Invictus Games founder had relationships with Chelsy Davy, Caroline Flack, and Ellie Goulding before dating Meghan Markle in 2016. Harry and the “Suits” alum got married in 2018 and have two children: Archie, 4, and Lilibet, 2. They live in a $14 million home in Montecito, Calif. Since leaving the royal life in 2020, Markle moved to the US, where she is staging a Hollywood comeback and recently started her lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard.
