Prince Harry recounted the experience of losing his virginity to an 'older woman' in his memoir Spare

Prince Harry's account of how he lost his virginity sparked a wild rumour that actress Elizabeth Hurley was the secret woman in the tale.

Earlier this week Elizabeth Hurley finally shut down rumours tat 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 didn't name the woman. Instead, he described it as an "inglorious episode with an older woman who liked macho horses and who treated me like a young stallion".

He wrote: "I mounted her quickly, after which she spanked my ass and sent me away. One of my many mistakes was letting it happen in a field, just behind a very busy pub. No doubt someone had seen us."

Following the book's release, some people became convinced actress Elizabeth was the woman Harry wrote about, but this week the 58-year-old star 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.

The actress also insisted she had "never met" Harry in her life. She then joked to the host: "He's great-looking. He's American. Oh, it's Andy Cohen."

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."
