AceShowbiz - Elizabeth Hurley doubled down on her responses to wild Internet conspiracy theories involving herself and Prince Harry. In a new interview, the British actress weighed in on the speculations that she's the one taking the prince's virginity.
When appearing in the Wednesday, April 3 episode of "Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen", the 58-year-old was shocked when a fan asked about the matter. "That was ludicrous!" she told the host.
"He said, 'She was English. She was older than me. It was in Gloucestershire.' And they were like, 'Ah, it's Elizabeth,' " Elizabeth, who is 19 years the Duke of Sussex's senior, added. "It was absurd. It was ridiculous."
Later in the episode, Elizabeth also stressed that she has never crossed paths with the husband of Meghan Markle. "I've never met him in my life," the "Gossip Girl" alum insisted.
She then pointed out how absurd it was for people to assume that the woman mentioned by Harry in his memoir "Spare" was her. "It was like saying, 'He's great-looking. He's American.' Oh, it's Andy Cohen," she joked.
Prior to this, Elizabeth made it clear that she wasn't the woman that Harry was talking about. "Not me. Not guilty. Ha!" she told the Saturday Times Magazine in December 2022. "No. Not me. Absolutely not."
Harry made the revelation about his "quick romp" with an older woman in "Spare", which was released back in January 2023. "Inglorious episode," he recalled. "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 to grace," he continued. In his book, the British royal also shared that there were so "many things about it that were wrong" - one of which being that it "happened in a grassy field behind a busy pub."
While Harry didn't mention the identity of the woman, someone named Sasha Walpole claimed to be the said woman. "He was a young boy, so for him, it may have been mega awkward," she said on Piers Morgan's "Uncensored" show at the time.
Sasha said that she was 19 and Harry was 17 when they hooked up. "We were friends. It's not really that glorious in a field behind a pub," she recalled. "There was nothing glorious about being drunk and [having sex with] your mate."
