Elizabeth Hurley has shut down rumours she's the "older woman" who took Prince Harry's virginity and said the speculation is "absurd".
The Duke of Sussex wrote about the moment in his debut memoir Spare but decided not to name the woman in question. Instead, he described it as an "inglorious episode with an older woman who liked macho horses and who treated me like a young stallion".
Harry also claimed he "mounted her quickly, after which she spanked my rump and sent me away". Following the book's release, some people became convinced Elizabeth was the woman Harry wrote about, but she has now denied the claims.

"That was ludicrous. He said, 'She was English. She was older than me. It was in Gloucestershire.' And they were like, 'Ah, it's Elizabeth.' It was absurd. It was ridiculous," she said during an episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen.

Writing in Spare, Harry said: "[It was an] inglorious episode with an older woman. She liked horses, quite a lot, and treated me not unlike a young stallion. Quick ride, after which she'd smacked my rump and sent me off to graze. Among the many things about it that were wrong: it happened in a grassy field behind a busy pub."
After Spare was released, Sasha Walpole came forward and claimed she was the woman who had sex with Harry in the field. She claimed the pair had sex after sneaking out of a nearby pub together to smoke cigarettes.
Sasha told how the pair started the night by downing countless shots of tequila, Baileys and sambuca to celebrate her 19th birthday in 2001. She admitted that she had been feeling down after being dumped by her boyfriend and Harry was determined to cheer her up.
Speaking to the Daily Mail, Sasha said: "It was instant, fiery, wham bam, between two friends. It was sparky because we shouldn't have been doing it."
She added: "We didn't set out to do it – it wasn't premeditated and I didn't know he was a virgin. There were no virgin vibes – he seemed to know what he was doing. It was quick, wild, exciting."
