It was revealed two years ago in Prince Harry’s memoir, “Spare,” that he lost his virginity to an older woman in a passionate encounter, despite being drunk.
Naturally, speculation arose about the identity of this mysterious woman, as the Duke of Sussex described her as older and someone who “liked horses, quite a lot, and treated me not unlike a young stallion.” At the time, there was speculation that he might have been linked to Elizabeth Hurley, best-known in film roles like Vanessa Kensington in Austin Powers(1997) the Devil in Bedazzled (2000) and television roles includingThe Royals (2015–2018) and portraying and portraying Diana Payne on the fifth season of Gossip Girl (2011).
“That was ludicrous!” she exclaimed during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, a late-night, interactive talk show that features guests from the world of entertainment, politics, and pop culture. “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.”
Additionally, Hurley affirmed she has never met Harry. Ever. Hurley said she doesn’t understand why people assumed she was the person who took Harry’s V-card.
Who took Harry’s virginity?
With Elizabeth Hurley out of the map, attention turned to a woman named Sasha Walpole, who claimed to be the first to be intimate with Harry in the summer of 2001. As a matter of fact, she stated that it was actually the Duke of Sussex who made the proposal.
Walpole used to work as a stable girl for Prince Charles at his Gloucestershire estate, Highgrove House. She told The Sun: “I am the woman who took Harry’s virginity. It was literally wham-bam between two friends. The sex was passionate and sparky because we shouldn’t have been doing it.”
She also clarified she wasn’t that old when it happened, claiming she was 19 and Harry 17 at the time. Walpole expressed regret, stating, “We were friends. It’s not really that glorious in a field behind a pub. There was nothing glorious about being drunk and [having sex with] your mate.” Sasha is now 40-year-old and is a married mum-of-two.
On the other hand, Harry admitted there were many things wrong about the encounter: “Quick ride, after which she’d smacked my rump and sent me to grace.” Among the many things wrong, he recalled in ‘Spare,’ it was that “it happened in a grassy field behind a busy pub.”
